What: A large Civil War re-enactment in the Midwest, typically drawing more than 13,000 visitors and 1,200 Confederate, Union and civilian re-enactors from 15 states. Throughout the 280-acre grounds, visitors can see, hear and smell Civil War times. Each morning there are artillery, cavalry and infantry drill demonstrations. Other highlights include the field hospital, where re-enactor doctors and nurses perform period medical treatments, and the suttler area where people dressed in costume sell supplies to the "soldiers" and books, meat pies, and sarsaparilla to the public. During the war, suttlers followed the troops to sell them personal effects, alcohol, writing paper and prayer books. |
