This is the flag at Fort Pulaski, which is near Tybee Island. We bought a season pass for Fort Pulaski and are trying to go whenever they have special events like Canon / Musket Firing as well as the event we went to in this post. We went to Celebrating America at Fort Pulaski which included canon firings, musket firings, a staff game of 1860's baseball and then a family game of 1860's baseball. 
Here is Carter "Batter Up" Smith. As you can see by the picture, the bat is much larger than today's baseball bat and the ball was much different as well. You could tell that the difference affected some of the children (and adults!) who were used to playing with today's lighter equipment!
Here is Cooper "Homerun" Smith. He had a smaller version of the 1860's bat, but it was still a little hard for him to handle. Luckily, we did not have to dress in 1860's fashion, as the staff at Fort Pulaski was wearing!
Here is Tony "RBI" Smith. The family game was adults verses children. All of the children really got a kick out of their parents playing ball with the different equipment!
