Philadelphia is hosting the Lincoln200 Festival, celebrating the 200th birthday of the 6th President. A Civil War army camp is set up on the Constitution Center grounds where visitors can see camp life and exhibits, and listen to presentations. The 3rd and 6th Regiment Infantry U.S. Colored Troops have a exhibit here to represent the 11 black regiments trained at Camp William, near Philadelphia.
