Civil War Re-enactors
The Re-enactors scheduled to appear never made it to the Festival this year. It is on the Coordinator's list of "wants" for 2012. If you are a Re-enactor and want to come to the 2012 Festival, contact the Festival Coordinator by email or at 570-376-2821
American Civil War reenactment is an effort to recreate the appearance of a particular battle or other event associated with the American Civil War by hobbyists known (in the United States) as Civil War reenactors or Civil War recreationists.
Public demonstrations are smaller mock battles put on by reenacting organizations and/or private parties primarily to show the public how people in the 1860s lived, and to show the public civil war battles. The battles are only loosely based on actual battles, if at all, and may consist of demonstrations of basic tactics and maneuvering techniques.
