: 6th Annual Civil War Living History Days Celebration

Head down in the Valley this weekend and smell the gun powder barreling from the cannons as you witness authentic batttles and skirmish re-enactments at the 6th Annual Civil War Living History Days. Stroll down Sutlers Row and experience traditional camp life with Civil War soldiers and civilians. Visit with a surgeon as he applies Civil War-era medicine and hospital techniques to wounded soldiers.

Civil War Living History Days offers an exciting variety of fun family activities and demonstrations including dulcimer players, weavers, woodworkers and tinsmiths. Both Saturday and Sunday, public entertainment will include skirmishes, demonstrations, a canon night fire and a Civil War Ball.
