Now this is passion, you dress up, participate.. man
what dedication... I wonder if any Buffulo Soldiers will be there?
I actually know some ( guys who reinact it)
Imagine yourself under martial law in a town occupied by the Confederate army. Suddenly a cannon blasts, smoke fills the air, and a hundred Union soldiers come rushing in. Before you can turn to run, a battle is raging before your very eyes.
Calico Ghost Town will come alive with Civil War battles, the sounds of bugles, and the thunder of cannon and musket fire on February 16, 17, and 18th, 2008. Calico, in partnership with the American Civil War Society, invite you to come and witness historic presentations, troop inspections, artillery demonstrations, period fashion shows, military battles, and much more! Battles will occur daily at 11:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Before the battles begin, watch as General Grant and President Lincoln inspect their troops. After the battle is over, you can find President Lincoln reading The Gettysburg Address in central Calico. If the battles are too loud for your little ones, make sure to stop by the children’s social or the craft project booth.
Calico is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. Saturday and Sunday admission to the event is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for youth (6-15), and free for children 5 and under. Join us on Monday for a special enhanced weekend price of $10 per car load, $5 for motorcycles with two riders, and $3 for motorcycles with one rider.
Make sure to join us in Calico over President’s Day Weekend as this Civil War reenactment weekend truly spotlights the reality of camp life and transports you back to the 19th Century.
