Program: Dog Tent!

Join Park Rangers at Battle of Rivers Bridge State Historic Site for a special educational program.

Civil War soldiers used to say that their “tents were not fit for a dog,” so their tents became known as dog tents, which is how we got the term pup tent for any small tent today. This isn’t a camping program for dogs (although they are welcome to attend). Meet at the Park Office where we will be using tarps to learn the different ways to set up a Civil War tent.

Dog Tent! Runs from 45 – 60 minutes and is suitable for all ages.

$5.00 / Free for children 3 and under
