The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society showed what life was like for a youth in the Union Army during the American Civil War. As all members of society were involved in this conflict, including children, it provided a glimpse into just what their responsibility would have been during this time. Re-enactors from Massachusetts Civil War brigades were on hand to demonstrate the role that a child would have played during the upheaval of the 1860’s.
