Battle of AIken

Come join us and see history come alive with cannons, cavalry horses and living history experts. For three days, reenactors eat, sleep, live and fight in a painfully recreated 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. Tickets for adults cost $12 and are $6 for kids 6 to 12 and free for kids under 5.
