Re: Pix/ideas Winter Quarters
The 140th NY reenactment group did, plus a Sibley, plus a couple more stockaded tents. You might contact Scott Schulz (Schultz? Something like that.).Comment

Re: Pix/ideas Winter Quarters
The winter huts built at the Newfane, New York site were extensively documented utilizing a number of images from the Library of Congress. Multiple styles, from stockaded Sibleys to entrenched log huts to milled board structures were all represented.
While some of the collection has been broken up, extensive photographs remain in the files of the Winter of '64 Yahoo Group. It's not a chatty list-server, simply one we continue to maintain for the sake of the voluminous research contained therein.Terre Hood Biederman

Re: Pix/ideas Winter Quarters
As stated above in Newfane NY, the 151st NY under Scott Schotts, Dennis Shanks and Craig Schaeffer built a replica of this hut using this picture as a guide. Naming it the Pine cottage.Originally posted by tater View Post
As I understand it the winter 64 event huts were vandalized each year, creating more work to maintain the site , something to consider by anyone who puts the effort into a winter camp.
