NEWFIELD — Folks who have wondered what life was like for those fighting in the Civil War or about life in general in the 1860s have the chance this weekend to see how it might have been.

The 6th Maine Battery will be encamped at 19th Century Willowbrook Village.

“We will have a mustering in for kids, marching and drilling for kids with wooden rifles as well as the real thing with this uniformed group, telegraphy and secret Civil War coding, indoor and outdoor 19th-century cooking, metal casting, hands-on laundry, a medical triage with diagnosis, and bandaging and blacksmithing,” said director Robert Schmick.

High Tea will also be available for a $5 fee.

Author Jean Flahive will read from her young reader’s novel “Billy Boy,” a narrative of a Maine Civil War soldier; Mark Matteau from Dunstan Press will feature letterpress printing in the printing shop; and a presentation by the school marm at the schoolhouse is scheduled.

Admission is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, $8 for ages 7 to 17, free for those 6 and under, and $10 per person for groups of 8 or more.

Included with the price of admission, people can access the more than 20 buildings on the property and the collection of almost 15,000 objects, as well as take a turn of the carousel; rides are available at 11:30 a.m., and 1:30 and 3 p.m.
