6th Annual

Skirmish at Jeffersonville

Civil War Reenactment  *  April 16-18, 2010

 

         

Not since the 1860's has the Jeffersonville area (now known as Tazewell, VA) anticipated such a gathering of men, coated in blue and gray, armed with percussion muskets, ready to fight face-to-face and hand-to-hand.  In April of 2010, hundreds of re-enactors will gather on the grounds of Historic Crab Orchard Museum to present the story of the War Between the States.  Living history camps, demonstrations, and battle reenactments will tell the story of the war that became devastating to the entire country and made family and friends enemies. Mark your calendar and plan on being a part of this much-anticipated event.
