From the Village of Hainesville, Illinois

Sunday, October 17 from 9 am to 3 pm
Relive history as knowledgeable re-enactors, both military and civilian in period costume recreate a Civil War encampment and battle in a rural setting in Hainesville, Illinois.
Event highlights include : narrated battle between Union and Confederate uniformed soldiers, military and civilian bivouacs and encampments, battlefield surgeries, undertakers and period medical displays.
Such historical persons as Abraham Lincoln, General Grant, Elijah Haines (the Village of Hainesville founder) among others. Period music, souvenirs and food vendors.
Admission is free, but there will be a $10 on site parking charge.
I'll be there (my first Civil War Re-enactment since you-know-what).
