Civil War Reenactment

Civil War reenactment is an organized activity where individuals recreate battles and daily life from the American Civil War (1861-1865). Participants dress in period-accurate uniforms and clothing, use historical weapons (safely), and perform scripted performances or actual battle scenarios. These events often aim to educate the public about the war's history, honor those who fought, and preserve historical accuracy. Reenactments take place in various locations, including battlefields and parks, and draw history enthusiasts, families, and tourists, fostering a deeper understanding of the Civil War's significance in American history.
