I haz a question and i figured i should just ask it here for a quick answer. This July, I am going to Virginia to visit family but along the way, I am planning to stop at some battlefields. Now the 153rd anniversary of Bull Run (1st battle) is happening soon and it says there will be a "living history" event. Now I know what living history entails but since its the 153rd anniversary and its a major battle, will there be an actual mock battle that takes place? any help is appreciated. thanks baes.
"Living History" no. It will be encampment and bunch of drill and demonstration. No battle.
If it was a battle, it would say "reenactment" instead of "living history". Those event are fun though anyway.
Aw, I'm sorry to ask this but you wouldn't happen to know any reenactments happening in Northern VA soon would you? Or at least a website that lists them. The ones I've used haven't been all to helpful
Sure do, tons but would help alot if you could narrow it down to which specific month?
mid to late July to early August :3
July 19-20, 2nd Kernstown Living History. - Will be done by Liberty Rifles, i highly recommend those guys. They'll knock your sock off.
August 9-10 City Point LH, thats where Grant based himself and all the supplies went through, pretty near Richmond which is home to The Confederacy museum. Great museum.
Sorry to say but seems no battle until Septemeber. Because since June 9, The union army has the confederate trapped in Petersburg. A siege. So there will be ton of Petersburg LH and stuff but no battle. Siege took place until next year, March. oy vey.
