What is a Quartermaster?


A Quartermaster's Luncheon will be served this weekend from 11:00-3:00pm during the festivities marking the 150th Commemoration Celebration of the Civil War for this area on Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th, 2012.  While 2013 is the official year observing this anniversary, 2012 will be very memorable as well, with several events to mark the occasion. 

Some of you may not be familiar with the term Quartermaster.  Here is a very informative link courtesy of the American Civil War Website which you can read up on here: http://americancivilwar.com/tcwn/civil_war/QuarterMaster_History.html

The Historic Fairfield Inn's Quartermaster Luncheon will promise not to disappoint as Mrs. Lee will join guests while they sample authentically prepared Civil War menu items that brought both comfort and sustenance to soldiers.
