April 27 - 29 - Civil War Reenactment in Mariposa
The National Civil War Association, the Long Ranch and Mariposa County are joining forces to sponsor a Civil War Reenactment event beginning Friday, April 27, for school children; and Saturday and Sunday, April 28 and 29 for the public.
This event will be held on the Frank Long Ranch, about five miles South of Highway 140 on Yaqui Gulch Road (about 10 miles west of Mariposa).
The first day is dedicated to the school children of Mariposa County, with the public invited for Saturday and Sunday. These reenactment events depict all of the aspects of a major campaign of the Civil War with battles, marching, cannonades and cavalry charges. In the camps will be the kinds of support that an army in the field would need in the early 1860s. Even families trying to keep some semblance of normal life will be there feeding their men, washing the clothes and tending to the wounded.
The National Civil War Association is well known for putting on major events of its kind in the West. Families are welcome to come and picnic, wander through the camps and study a life that helped to define our nation today.
Visitors wishing to attend both days of the event may stay at any of Mariposa's fine lodging units, eat in any number of family style restaurants and be entertained on Saturday night with music and historic activities associated with the Gold Rush Days and The Civil War.
For more information about the event, transportation options and to make reservations for an overnight stay in Mariposa County, call the Mariposa County Visitors Center at 1-866-425-3366.
