Civil War film

I am currently playing a major role in a Civil War short film. We did the last scene today, which was, ironically, the first day of shooting. Never a sequential process, filmmaking.
We shot the scene at Wilson's Creek National Battlefield. I and the female lead are standing over her father's grave. I am a chaplain, dressed in a long black coat, vest, white shirt, and black broad brimmed hat.
Well, funny thing was, I went to the bathroom at the visitor center to get into my costume. When I came out of the stall, a little boy was in there with his father. The little boy was trying to go to the bathroom but kept staring at me because of the way I was dressed.
Now I know how the Amish must feel in public.
