Battle of Aiken 1210 Powell Pond Rd, Aiken County, South Carolina 29801
Come see history come alive with cannons, cavalry horses and living history experts. For two days, re-enactors eat, sleep, live and fight in a painfully re-created version of the world in 1865. This War Between the States event has grown from a few hundred men with muskets to a full-blown Civil War festival. In addition to battle re-enactments, there are authentic 19th-century military encampments, living history presentations, reproductions of medical facilities, an engineer and signal service, and civilian portrayals. Food vendors will be available. Adult admission isĀ $12; ages 6 to 12 are admitted for $6, and kids under age 5 receive free admission.
