of Time Living History Encampment
Veterans Memorial Park, Bay City This annual event held on the banks of the
Saginaw River in Veterans Memorial Park draws re-enactors from all over the country to dress, work and live as
people did from several eras in Michigan's past. Representing time periods from pre-contact Native Americans,
Revolutionary War, French and Indian War, Civil War, and the great World Wars, this free, family-oriented, educational
event is a wonderful way to look back at simpler if not more difficult times. The event brings in
thousands of people every year including school groups from all over the area. NOTE: The Museum will be closed on Saturday, September 23rd. For more information visit the River of Time website.
