Civil War re-enactors of the re-created Company C, 28th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry spent a Saturday making camp at historic Selma Mansion at 1301 West Airy Street.

The men and woman in historical garb made demonstrations, ran drills and even did a bit of cooking. They were joined later in the day by the Norristown Chorale for holiday carols.

Proceeds from the event, sponsored by the Pennsylvania Underground Paranormal Society (P.U.P.S.) and the Norristown Preservation Society, go towards the restoration of Selma Mansion.
