Civil War Music Concert by the Libby Prison Minstrels
The Libby Prison Minstrels return to Hagley for a command performance to mark the conclusion of Hagley’s year-long commemoration of the Civil War. The five-piece band is modeled after a real group of Union prisoners who performed in the infamous Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia, during the Civil War. The band’s repertoire includes soldier songs (North and South), songs from home, Irish-American ballads, sea shanties, spirituals, period fiddle tunes, and Early American dance music.
Guests can enjoy the outdoor performance in the historic setting of Workers’ Hill. Bring a picnic or visit the Belin House Organic Café. Bring the family. There will be fun for all! Admission is $2 for members, $3 for not-yet-members, and children five and under are admitted free. Use the main entrance off Route 141. In the event of rain or excessive heat, please check our website for change of venue information. Reservations are appreciated at (302) 658-2400.
