BURTON — The premiere of a musical about abolitionist John Brown will be part of this weekend’s Civil War encampment at Century Village.

Other attractions during the weekend include battle reenactments at 1 p.m. both days, a field hospital demonstrating treatments for wounded soldiers, a fashion show, sutlers and vendors village and an 1800s tea.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Century Village, 14653 E. Park St., Burton. Admission is $10 with children ages 4 to 10 admitted for $5.

A Civil War Ball will be hosted in the Lennah Bond Activity Center at 6 p.m. Saturday. Tickets for the ball, which includes dinner and dancing are $35 with a $10 discount for those who attend in Civil War attire.
