More than 250 people attended Muster at the Museum on September 10 at the Old Capitol. Reenactors set up on the Old Capitol Green and gave new recruits a taste of military life during the Civil War. Stations included a brief physical exam to ensure enough teeth and fingers, receipt of a rifle, marching drills on the parade field, and a lesson on how fire a cannon. Once soldiers were mustered out, they received ten Mississippi dollars and relaxed with a game of horseshoes.
