Civil War Days

on May 8, 2010 – 3:07 am

Watch eyes grow wide when horses charge and cannons roar as reenactors from across the country bring an 1860’s battle to life again. Young and old can learn firsthand what the Civil War was about from Union and Confederate soldiers. Create a memory sure to last a lifetime when you experience the Civil War for yourself at Conner Prairie.

One weekend only, Conner Prairie transforms into a Civil War battleground. The historic areas become Union and Confederate Camps, the field is made into a battleground and the woods are converted into ideal hiding spots for soldiers. Reenactors from across the country bring the 1860s to life so you can discuss battle tactics with soldiers, march in their infantry, sit around their campfires and witness a battle complete with cannons, horses and guns. Free with general admission.

Saturday, May 15; 10 am-5 pm and Sunday, May 16; 11 am-5 pm. View the weekend’s activities and event schedule here.
