Civil War Reenacting has been a growing hobby since it began in the 1960’s spurred on by the Centennial. The 125th anniversary of the start of the war in 1986 saw reenacting turn into a serious hobby. A love of history, a desire to better understand what Civil War era soldiers and civilians experienced, the pleasure of camping with friends and cooking over an open fire all explain why reenactors follow this hobby.
This Saturday, September 17 will be Calhoun’s Reenactment of Civil War Days at the Calhoun County Park. The Skirmish will begin at 3 p.m. and the Cannon night fire will be at 9 p.m. Make sure to take in a little history this weekend and enjoy what the park has to offer.
