33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band Concert

Enjoy a beautiful summer evening on the David Davis Mansion lawn, where the 33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band will be performing an assortment of Civil War-era music.

This event is free, but donations are always appreciated. 

The 33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band Inc. was re-created in 1996, by musicians from Central Illinois. Like the original band, the musicians were recruited from the same geographical area in Illinois and come from all walks of life. The band is an authentic re-creation of the actual Civil War Era band that was mustered at State Normal University in 1861. The band's uniforms, sewn from natural wool fibers, are authentic in every detail and are patterned from actual specimens worn by the Union soldier. The authenticity in dress presents the audience with the most accurate appearance possible.
