This is one of the best reenactments around that I'm in every year since it started and it's at an actual fort that was built in 1862 and a great place to have a reenactment and other events as well and it's quite place to be at and it's a beautiful place with lots of other historical places in town and the surrounding area and also have Depot days the first full week in June so come on out and watch history come to life hope to see you there
