Naper Settlement Hosts Civil War Days

Naper Settlement will be transformed into a Civil War encampment in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.

Visitors can meet famous figures of the past as hundreds of re-enactors will stage a battle with cannons and infantry. Characters will portray President Abraham Lincoln, famous generals and other figures from history. The battle will begin at 2:30 p.m. on each day.

Discounted advance admission tickets can be purchased at Naper Settlement, Anderson’s Bookshop, Country Curtains, Just Ducky and Oswald’s Pharmacy. For more information, visit www.napersettlement.museum or call (630) 420-6010.
