MILFORD, PA — The Pike County Historical Society will again host a living history program and Civil War encampment on the grounds of the Columns Museum.  The event will take place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 11.

The ladies and gentlemen of the 142nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Company G and others will be on hand to demonstrate life in camp during the Civil War. They will also explain the routines of civilians—including period dress, weaponry, food, medicine and folklore of the times.
