17th Annual Civil War Weekend at the Grange
Sayville, NY
September 13 - 14, 2025
Apart from some overnight rain on Saturday, we had picture perfect weather for our 17th outing at the Grange. Once again, we were joined by the 30th Virginia, the 6th NY Independent Artillery and Town of Islip Town Historian, George Munkenbeck, who we honored this weekend with a surprise 80th birthday celebration. In addition, we had The Sons of Union Veterans, Daughters of Union Veterans, and Society of the Grand Army of the Republic (SOGAR). This year, we debuted a few new recruits (aka Fresh Fish) at their first Grange event. We held our Saturday evening Flag Retirement ceremony and President Rich Coleman entertained us with another episode of 'Civil War Jeopardy'. Cablevision's News 12 even paid a visit on Sunday to record that day's battle. Let's see if we make it to 18!
