The reenactment was fantastic! The actors did a great job during the battle and with answering our plethora of questions afterwards. The announcer that talked the crowd through the battle was very knowledgeable about the local history and the events leading up to the battle. For those who are thinking about attending the re-enactment, the battlefield is on one side of the Main Street and you park across the street in a pasture field. If it has rained recently, it can get kind of muddy. There were vendors set up at the battlefield site that carried goods and food for sale. There were portable toilets available for public use. Across a small Bridge from the battlefield on the same side of the road as the battlefield, the actors had a campsite set up that you could mingle through after the re-enactment. I would recommend getting to the battlefield half an hour beforehand, bringing a chair or blanket to sit on, and bringing hearing protection for anyone who does not like loud noises (children, in particular). The canons are VERY loud.

We visited during the biennial reenactment. Well worth it and lots of great people bringing history to life.
My family had a very short time to stop. The ranger at the visitors center gave us a personal extreamy detailed history of this critical civil war battlefield. We were amazed and glad we took the time to stop.
Went for the free Friday education day before the Saturday re-enactment and it was fantastic. This event only happens every other year but defiantly worth your time. Maps, Guns, Music, cannons, black smith, Laundress and more on hand to learn about.
Nice trails with new interpretive signing in the works. Great place to visit for history buffs or just to get out for a walk.
An important story of the Civil War. Events for all ages. Beautiful building, Walking trails and more.
Excellent historical battlefield..
The curator is definitely excited about his work which helped us learn a lot when we stopped! They are in the middle of renovations and they hadn't put up signs yet when we were there. We are sure glad we found it though! We are hoping to come back when the new center is all put together.
