ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS! Don't forget to get you and your people signed up for the 2012 event. Click here for some important information for you the reenactors.

Living History Day: Bring your students and give them an educational experience geared to show what life was like before, during and after the Civil War - this will be happening on Friday the 18th. In 2011, we hosted over 700 school children from the surrounding counties who got to experience first hand what it would be like to go back in time. What a phenomenal learning opportunity for the students.

Battles will take place on both Saturday and Sunday along with a Ladies Tea and an evening ball. The towns people and churches will lay out a huge spread of food for Saturday's evening meal in which all participants are invited. Displays and demonstrations for the students on Friday will provide opportunities all weekend long for visitors and towns people to learn first hand what life was like during the Civil War.

Some of the Sutlers in 2012 include: Adlers Dry Goods, Auxier Creek Forge, Bear Flag Merchantile, Chigger Ranch, Cleburns-Irish Lady Sutler, Crescent City Sutler, Greene Leather & Fur, Heartland Kettle Corn, Julia's Herbal Gifts, Lady Adelines, Popjacks Sassafrass Rootbeer, Skirts & Shirts, Soldier Review, Sunflower Broom Shop, Sweet Ladies Merchantile, The Lanternman and more.
