At a critical point of the Civil War, Professor Thaddeus Lowe and President Abraham Lincoln created the Union Army Balloon Corps which gave the North a needed military advantage. One hundred and fifty years later, The Genesee Country Village and Museum of Mumford, New York, has recreated Lowe's largest balloon 'Th e Intrepid' and this unique piece of American History. This short documentary tells the story of the Union Balloon Corps and the museum's efforts to create this living history experience.
