Reenactors and Civil War buffs will converge on Princeton from all over the Midwest for two days of Civil War battle re-enactments, storytelling, music, dance and more. Shadows of the Blue and Gray presents a unique opportunity for history enthusiasts to not only learn about life during the 1860s, but to actually immerse themselves in a sort of living play about the Civil War era.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube fusion-aligncenter\" style=\"--awb-max-width:800px;--awb-max-height:492px;--awb-width:100%;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:61.5%;\" ><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wZVoQ5hGnBI?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"800\" height=\"492\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 5px;\">Shadows of the Blue and Gray Civil War Festival<\/h3>\n<p>Spectators will smell the gun powder and hear the cannon fire of a real life Civil War battle skirmish. At the Shadows Of The Blue and Gray Civil War Festival they&#8217;ll witness the carnage that comes as a result of battle, and see up close the agony of soldiers being treated in a makeshift field hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The Shadows Of The Blue and Gray Civil War Festival is not all war and gore. Festival-goers also will have the chance to watch how period artisans make things such as candles, brooms, clothes and blacksmith goods. They&#8217;ll be able to shake hands with President and Mrs. Lincoln or watch Clara Barton demonstrate common nursing techniques. A costume-optional dance will take place under the stars and children will be invited to participate in an interactive scavenger hunt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Participant Amenities<\/strong><br \/>\nWe are offering bounties to all that take the field. Infantry will receive rifle caps. Artillery will receive powder and money, as well as bounty for each horse that takes the field. Saturday night we are offering a free dinner to all our reenactor friends that register, and an on site ball with period music. As always straw, hay, firewood and water will be avaiable.
