I really like this sketch. It reminds me of the tents that are going to go up at the Civil War Reinactment this weekend. They will have a small tent city there. They also will have Civil War fashions, cookware, and more that look authentic. Last year, they also had an authentic-sounding church service. It was fun to see people in civil-war era costumes, both men and women. I took some really fun photos there. 

It is a great, fun, and free event.



A REMINDER:

This post is a reminder to check out the (free) Civil War Reinactment this weekend at Lost River Cave.

http://www.lostrivercave.com/events.html

Lost River Cave is located on 31-W. Here are directions and a map. Also, if you take pictures and want to share them, let me know where they are posted and if I can post them here.

Some of the great things going on at the Reinactment are the chance to meet Abe Lincoln, a Cannon Night Fire, and a Lost River Civil War Ball.

Get Ready to Experience the Civil War!

See Civil War Reinactors, booths, costumes, and more October 16, 17, and 18, 2009 at Lost River Cave.

I have been to several of these reinactments. It was so fun.

Be prepared with earplugs if you go when they are firing the cannon. Just saying.

They have had booths, a church service, and cannon firing in the past. You can find all kinds of crafts, costumes, iron mongering, tents, and more here.

Soky Happenings has some great pictures this issue of the Lost River Cave Civil War Living History Days. I also have some photos here too from last year.
