The military units we represent are the 1st North Carolina Volunteers (the Bethel Regiment) and the 11th North Carolina Regiment. This allows flexibility to adapt to any reenactment period and still remain historically correct. 1st NC Volunteers often coordinate their efforts with state and national historic sites and events\, such as the Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment. \nAbout The Battle of Fort Macon in 1862\nThe Siege of Fort Macon took place from March 23 to April 26\, 1862\, on the Outer Banks of Carteret County\, North Carolina. It was part of Union Army General Ambrose E. Burnside’s North Carolina Expedition during the American Civil War.\nIn late March\, Major General Burnside’s army advanced on Fort Macon\, a fort that commanded the channel to Beaufort\, 35 miles southeast of New Bern. The Union force engaged the fort with siege works and on April 25 opened an accurate fire on the fort\, soon breaching the masonry walls. Within a few hours the fort’s scarp began to collapse\, and in late afternoon the Confederate commander\, Colonel Moses J. White\, ordered the raising of a white flag. Burnside’s terms of surrender were accepted\, and the Federal troops took possession of the fort the next morning. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment in Atlantic Beach\, North Carolina. \nTags: Fall Fort Macon Civil War Reenactment\, North Carolina Civil War Reenactment\, North Carolina Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fall-fort-macon-civil-war-reenactment/ LOCATION:Fort Macon State Park\, 2303 East Fort Macon Road\, Atlantic Beach\, NC\, 28512\, United States CATEGORIES:American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Historic American Forts,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Macon-Civil-War-Reenactment-04-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="1st NC Volunteers":MAILTO:LGordon3@nc.rr.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180915 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180917 DTSTAMP:20260429T152308 CREATED:20170221T120220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180110T173607Z UID:12078-1536969600-1537142399@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Taylor Living History Weekend DESCRIPTION:2018 Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCelebrate Florida’s rich history at Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor\, America’s Southernmost Civil War Fortress in Key West\, Florida.

After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month from March to September at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, FL. \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend-2017-09-16/ LOCATION:Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\, 601 Howard England Way\, Key West\, FL\, 33040\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Taylor-Living-History-Weekend-01-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180907 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180910 DTSTAMP:20260429T152308 CREATED:20160716T172145Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180829T073315Z UID:6301-1536278400-1536537599@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of Middle Creek Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2018 Battle of Middle Creek Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe Annual Battle of Middle Creek Reenactment will be held September 7-9\, 2018 at the Middle Creek National Battlefield in Prestonsburg\, Kentucky.

Civil War soldiers garrison the Fort and fire cannons during the afternoon at the Old Fort Niagara Civil War Artillery School. The event is sponsored by Reynolds Battery 1st New York Light Artillery. \nAlthough Fort Niagara was far from the action during the war\, it nonetheless saw activity during the conflict. Paroled Union soldiers captured near Mesilla\, N.M.\, arrived at the fort in December 1861 and remained there until October 1862. Later\, the fort’s walls were strengthened against a feared British attack from Canada in support of the Confederacy. The fort’s massive brick walls and sturdy underground casemates date from this period. \nThis Old Fort Niagara Civil War Artillery School training weekend\, whether you wear blue or gray the school is dedicated to one simple goal: the training of reenactors in the safe portrayal of their branch. To a lesser degree\, it is the hope that\, in brotherhood\, we can continue to strive to make this hobby enjoyable and accurate to ourselves\, our comrades\, and the public. Except for general formations for colors\, award presentations\, and guest speakers\, the Fort will be garrisoned\, scheduled\, administered\, and certified by staff from their own school. In other words\, the infantry will run the skirmish school\, the artillery will run the artillery school\, and so on. \nLocation\nOld Fort Niagara\n102 Morrow Plaza\n(in Fort Niagara State Park)\nYoungstown\, NY 14174\n(716) 745-7611 \nFor More Information: Call (716) 745-7611 \nAbout Reynolds’ Battery 1st New York Light Artillery\nEach year the Battery attends events throughout New York State and national events in Pennsylvania\, Virginia\, Ohio and Maryland. Reynolds’ Battery L\, 1st New York Light Artillery is chartered by the New York State Board of Education with the stated purpose and objectives to inform\, instruct and educate the public\nas to the life and trials of a Civil War Artillery soldier during the 1860s. In recognition of the training provided by the Battery to its members and the Reenactment community the 2012 George MacDonald Award for Outstanding Service was presented to Richard Henderson and John Beatty with Reynolds Battery. \nHistory of Reynolds’ Battery 1861 to 1865\nAfter the disaster at Bull Run\, President Lincoln put out a call for 300\,000 more men for service. The Rochester Union Grays\, a New York Militia regiment at the time\, answered the call. Recruiting was done by John A. Reynolds\, Edwin Loder and Charles Anderson\, and men from Monroe\, Ontario and Wayne counties flocked to the recruiting offices to join the artillery regiment. \nOn October 8\, 1861\, 81 men and officers swore an oath to the Union and were mustered into federal service while stationed in Elmira\, NY. Under the direction of the State of New York\, twelve artillery companies were formed with Reynolds’ Battery given the designation of Company L. They transferred to Albany on November 14\, the training ground for all NY State Artillery\, having reached full strength of 115 men. On November 23\, 1861 Company L reported for duty at Camp Barry\, Washington\, D.C. under the command of Captain John A. Reynolds. John Reynolds used his own personal funds as a guarantee to secured the first six Model 1861 3” Ordnance Rifles from the Phoenix Iron Works. These guns would not arrive until May 1862\, but would bring a great deal of fame for Reynolds’ Battery as being the only battery in US Service to have the first six consecutive guns in any series of any cannon in their battery. On February 23\, 1862\, Reynolds’ Battery was assigned to Baltimore\, Maryland to guard the Capital. After six months of waiting\, they were called into action at Harper’s Ferry. \nAbout Old Fort Niagara\nOld Fort Niagara has dominated the entrance to the Niagara River since 1726. In American hands since 1796\, Fort Niagara was recaptured by the British in 1813\, and then ceded to the US a second time in 1815 at the end of the War of 1812. Today\, visitors can discover an amazing collection of military architecture\, including the oldest building in the Great Lakes region: the “French Castle.” The fort is a New York State and National Historic Landmark and hosts several reenactments each year.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nOld Fort Niagara offers a chance to step back in time to an era when great empires struggled for control of North America.

The park is conveniently located near both Interstate 95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The state park lies at the confluence of the Neshaminy Creek and the Delaware River. Within its grounds was once located Dunks Ferry\, a site of Revolutionary War activity. Nearby sites of interest to military historians include Civil War campsites\, hospitals\, memorials and military grave sites and Fort Mifflin. \nEach year\, an historical battle of action of Civil War history is selected by the Committee to recreate as faithfully and authentically as possible. The action of battle should involve local troops from Philadelphia and environs to portray. The time period and terrain should be presented as well as can be done. We also try and present smaller sections of a larger action on the Brigade level\, where the numbers engaged are actually accurate to the recreation. The tactics\, uniforms\, weapons and ceremonies are all authentic to the Action selected. The result of this ambitious historical military program includes the recreation of Union and Confederate military camps along with civilian camps\, two public battles and a re-enactor only tactical event. \nWhile admission is free\, a voluntary collection will be taken each day of the re-enactment and all proceeds will go toward historical preservation efforts. \nPublic Welcom – Free Admission \nHours: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. rain or shine. \nVisitor’s Schedule (Saturday & Sunday\, subject to change)\nSaturday\n9:00 a.m. Camps and attractions open to public.

After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month from March to September at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, FL. \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend-2017-04-15/ LOCATION:Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\, 601 Howard England Way\, Key West\, FL\, 33040\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Fort-Taylor-Civil-War-Heritage-Days-10-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180414 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180416 DTSTAMP:20260429T152308 CREATED:20180405T225013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180406T070026Z UID:23095-1523664000-1523836799@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Yorktown Civil War Weekend DESCRIPTION:2018 Yorktown Civil War Weekend\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nJoin us for the annual Yorktown Civil War Weekend on April 14-15\, 2018 at the Watermen’s Museum (and other venues) in Yorktown\, Virginia for an exploration of Yorktown’s Civil War History with living history demonstrations and special exhibits located throughout Yorktown. \nYorktown Civil War Weekend programs will include a military encampment along with Infantry and Artillery firing demonstrations and costumed guided tours at the Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center.

\n \nDon’t miss the 18th Annual Moorpark Blue and Gray Civil War Reenactment on March 17-18\, 2018 at the Hitch Ranch in Moorpark\, California\, the largest battle reenactment on the West Coast. Hundreds of Reenactors and thousands of spectators come from all over the state and nation each year for this spectacular event. Moorpark Blue and Gray Civil War Reenactment activities include four battle reenactments (with cannon and musket fire)\, Abraham Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address\, solider and civilian encampments\, Confederate army surrendering to the Union army and period dancing and music. \n[embedyt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aQySI8mSF0&width=650&height=400&[/embedyt] \nCentury Market Fair at Locust Grove\nThe featured battles vary each year\, but are always torn from the pages of history. Much time is spent in planning its reenactment for the time and space available. The Moorpark Blue and Gray Civil War Reenactment is presented by the Rotary Club of Moorpark\, and is designed to educate the public about the historical significance of the Civil War and its effect on the United States including the abolishment of slavery. There will also be historic dancing and music playing near the food court. \nThe Encampment\nUnion and Confederate encampments can be visited where various demonstrations occur\, such as blacksmithing\, doctor’s tent\, the chapel\, the use of arms and cooking on an open fire\, etc. The soldiers are in authentic costumes and stay in character as they converse with the public\, transporting them back to the 1860s. The Civilian Camp is right alongside the soldier’s camps. Demonstrations here include many skills needed for day-to-day life in that period\, such as sewing\, weaving\, cooking\, etc. \nSutlers\nSutlers are civilian merchants who sell provisions to an army in the field\, in camp\, or in quarters. Sutlers sold wares from the back of a wagon or a temporary tent\, traveling with an army or to remote military outposts. At the Moorpark Blue and Gray Civil War Reenactment\, they will be selling reenacting supplies and uniforms\, shoes\, leather goods\, weapons\, (non-firing\, non-functional)\, and other related items. \nHours: Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. \nAdmission: \nSave money and purchase your tickets online.\nThis year we are offering New Family and VIP Packages AND Coupon Specials.

Teachers – Get in the Zone:\nBring American History to Life! To get students to fully appreciate what it was like during the American Civil War\, there is no better way to share those impressions than to take them to a quality Civil War Reenactment\, or encourage them to attend and gather information that they can submit for extra class credit.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nOver the past several years\, we have had a number of educators call and arrange for a group discount in order to take their American History class to our event on Saturday or Sunday. When you see the smiles on their faces and the enthusiasm of the students while they’re learning about events during the War\, you realize what a wonderful educational experience it is for them. They get to see first-hand what a typical Civil War encampment looks like\, the surgeon’s tent\, the soldier’s clothing\, their guns and ammunition\, canons firing\, the thrill of talking to Abraham Lincoln and General Lee\, a typical soldier’s mess\, and they’ll be able to talk to re-enactors\, in full costume and in character. All of this will bring the experience to life for the students. \nIf you haven’t planned a field trip for your history class\, we encourage you to consider our event. There is no better history lesson for your students than to expose them to the look and feel of our American Civil War and the extreme sacrifices that so many made in our Country for the freedoms that we enjoy today as a free Nation. \nOur event committee has approved a special Group Rate. See Group Reservations (20 or more) in the Contact section of this website. Go to “Group Reservations” for more information on ordering your tickets today. \nThere is ample food service\, reasonably priced at our event in our food court along with tables and chairs for keeping your group together. \nOn our website\, you will find several photos that will show you what our event looks like and what your students can expect to see in the encampment. Your students can see both North and South encampments. We expect to have over 700 re-enactors and their families in costume along with a large contingent of Civil War Sutlers\, that were the merchants of that era that followed the encampments. \nWe have also posted a Civil War Questionnaire that your students can complete by gathering information at the event. They have to do interviews\, in many cases\, to gather the information\, so it’s a live learning experience. \nFinally\, you will find links above to two short VIDEO clips\, that we produced\, called Gettysburg. Please click on the links and take a look. They are quality pieces of Abraham Lincoln reciting the Gettysburg address interspersed with battle scenes of past year’s events. It’s quite moving and I would encourage you to play it for your American History class.

After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month from March to September at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, FL. \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend/ LOCATION:Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\, 601 Howard England Way\, Key West\, FL\, 33040\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Taylor-Living-History-Weekend-01-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180303 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180305 DTSTAMP:20260429T152308 CREATED:20180126T100622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180127T144944Z UID:21839-1520035200-1520207999@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Battle of Natural Bridge Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2018 Battle of Natural Bridge Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience the sights and sounds of history at the 41st Annual Battle of Natural Bridge Reenactment on March 3-4\, 2018 at the Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park in Tallahassee\, Florida.

Over the course of the day\, Union troops\, including the 2nd and 99th United States Colored Troops (USCT)\, attempted to charge over the Natural Bridge. Each charge was repulsed by artillery and small arms fire by the Confederate defenders. By days end\, Union forces retreated to the protection of the Federal fleet at St. Marks. Tallahassee became the only Southern Capital east of the Mississippi River not to succumb to military capture by Union Troops during the Civil War. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Natural Bridge Reenactment in March at the Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park in Tallahassee\, Florida. \nTags: Battle of Natural Bridge Reenactment\, Reenactment of the Battle of Natural Bridge\, Civil War Battle of Natural Bridge Reenactment\, Florida Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/battle-of-natural-bridge-reenactment/ LOCATION:Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park\, 7502 Natural Bridge Road\, Tallahassee\, FL\, 32327\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Battle-of-Natural-Bridge-Reenactment-02-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Natural Bridge Historical Society":MAILTO:theboudreaux@netzero.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180223 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180226 DTSTAMP:20260429T152308 CREATED:20180209T123715Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181231T133723Z UID:22473-1519344000-1519603199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Oak Grove Plantation Civil War Reenactment Battle of Black River DESCRIPTION:2018 Oak Grove Plantation Civil War Reenactment Battle of Black River\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive history at the 4th Annual Oak Grove Plantation Civil War Reenactment Battle of Black River on February 23-25\, 2018 at the Oak Grove Plantation in Godwin\, North Carolina.

Oak Grove served as a Confederate hospital during the Civil War. In March 1865\, the plantation became a Union hospital during the Battle of\, part of the larger Battle of Averasboro. Cannon and bullets have scarred the building. It is considered one of the oldest houses in Harnett County. \nAbout the Battle of the Black River & Battle of Averasboro\nThe Battle of the Black River was part of the larger Battle of Averasboro. The Battle at Averasboro was intended to slow Gen. William T. Sherman’s army down so the Confederates could organize at Bentonville. The Battle of Averasboro was fought March 16\, 1865\, in Harnett and Cumberland counties\, North Carolina\, as part of the Carolinas Campaign of the American Civil War\, was a prelude to the climactic Battle of Bentonville\, which began three days later. Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman was moving his army north towards Goldsboro in two columns. The right column (Army of the Tennessee) was under the command of Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard and the left column (Army of Georgia) was under Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nConfederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston sent Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee’s corps to attack Slocum’s left wing while it was separated from the rest of Sherman’s forces. Slocum’s troops had crossed the Cape Fear River at Fayetteville and were marching up the Raleigh plank road. Near Averasboro\, they encountered Hardee’s corps. On the morning of the March 16\, troops of the Union XX Corps under Maj. Gen. Alpheus S. Williams were driven back by a Confederate assault. When reinforcements arrived\, the Union forces counter attacked and drove back two lines of Confederates\, but were stopped by a third line. By this time\, units from Maj. Gen. Jefferson C. Davis’s XIV Corps began to arrive on the field. Outnumbered and in danger of being flanked\, Hardee’s troops withdrew. \nThe Confederates had not held up the Union Army as long as they had hoped. Each side suffered about 700 casualties; however\, these were losses the Federals could afford while the Confederates could not. The Battle of Averasboro was fought on the grounds of Oak Grove\, near Erwin\, North Carolina.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Oak Grove Plantation Civil War Reenactment Battle of Black River in February at the Oak Grove Plantation in Godwin\, North Carolina. \nTags: Oak Grove Plantation Civil War Reenactment Battle of Black River\, Oak Grove Plantation Civil War Reenactment\, Battle of Black River Reenactment\, Battle of Averasboro Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments\, Encampments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/oak-grove-plantation-civil-war-reenactment-battle-black-river/ LOCATION:Oak Grove Plantation at Averasboro Battlefield\, 8640 Burnett Road\, Godwin\, NC\, 28334\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Oak-Grove-Plantation-Civil-War-Reenactment-Battle-of-Black-River-01-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180222 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180226 DTSTAMP:20260429T152308 CREATED:20180211T212923Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180211T214925Z UID:22551-1519257600-1519603199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Mississippi Stands Civil War Reenactment DESCRIPTION:2018 Mississippi Stands Civil War Reenactment\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRelive Civil War in Mississippi at Mississippi Stands Civil War Reenactment on February 22-25\, 2018 at Brice’s Cross Roads National Battlefield Site five miles west of Baldwyn\, Mississippi.

None were more important than the Buncombe Turnpike built in 1828 that ran through the mountains at Warm Springs\, North Carolina. This area would see many conflicts throughout the war\, with both sides trying to gain control of the area. \nThe Civil War in Madison County\, North Carolina\nBecause Madison County was a “border county” in a “border state” during the Civil War\, there are many examples of communities as well as families divided in their allegiances. There were no major battles in Madison County although both armies moved through the area and Madison County furnished troops for both sides.

Join with thousands of spectators who come to watch the reenactment of the Arizona Civil War skirmish\, the Battle of Picacho Pass — and the New Mexico battles of Glorieta and Val Verde. \n[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAGVLdrZ5Y4&width=540&height=333[/embedyt] \nVisitors travel from around the country to experience the Picacho Peak Civil War Reenactment with its three exciting and historic battle reenactments complete with lifestyles of the soldiers in the southwest during the 1860s. More than 200 reenactors come from many states to camp at the park with their authentic Civil War camping gear. \nFood and beverage concessions will be available. Visitors are encouraged to bring plenty of water\, as well as lawn chairs\, hats and sunscreen. Pets are not permitted (they don’t much care for cannon and musket fire!). \n \nIn addition to the battle reenactments\, spectators can see artillery and cavalry demonstrations\, presentations on women in the Civil War and soldiering in the Southwest\, plus the “period-appropriate” musical entertainment. \nThe Battle of Picacho Peak\nCivil War battles across America were well documented and history teachers carefully covered each battle across the East Coast\, but few ever thought what was happening in the West during this time. A battle of the American Civil War was a skirmish fought near a rocky spire called Picacho Peak located between Phoenix and Tucson\, Arizona. The new highway follows the old wagon route that passed Picacho in 1862. \nIn 1860 the New Mexico Territory\, which consisted of the lands that would become the states of Arizona and New Mexico\, was sparsely populated. When the Civil War broke out in 1861\, the U.S. Government recalled the majority of its troops from the West to build the Union army for the fighting in the east. Henry Hopkins Sibley joined the Confederacy and convinced Jefferson Davis that he would raise an army in Texas and invade New Mexico territories. He proposed that mineral resources would fill the coffers of the Confederacy and fund their massive war effort. \n \nTucson was the capitol of the Confederate Territory of Arizona between February 20\, 1862 when some 120 Texas Rebels took control of El Presidio San Agustin del Tucson and late April\, when the 1\,800-strong Union army of the California Volunteers entered this dusty\, dirty little Mexican town without firing a shot. \nDuring that short period\, 50 miles NW of Tucson\, an engagement was fought between a Union cavalry patrol and a party of Confederate pickets from Tucson. Every year in March\, dedicated men and women from all over come together at Picacho Peak State Park to reenact The Battle of Picacho Peak. \nMark your calendar so you won’t miss any of the action at the Picacho Peak Civil War Reenactment at the Picacho Peak State Park in Eloy\, Arizona! \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/picacho-peak-civil-war-reenactment/ LOCATION:Picacho Peak State Park\, Eloy\, AZ\, 85131\, United States CATEGORIES:American Civil War Reenactment,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Picacho-Peak-Civil-War-Reenactment-01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Arizona State Parks Foundation":MAILTO:contact@arizonastateparksfoundation.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
