Civil War Reenactments

Civil War reenactments transport you back into history for a day, and let you experience what it might have been like during this period in American history.  These reenactments can give you a feel about what it was like during that time.

You can see Civil War weaponry and Civil War costumes, bringing to life one of American history's most challenging time. The internet allows many people who may otherwise not get to see a reenactment to watch one. I've included some re-enactment videos below, and you can also find History Channel Civil War DVDs here.

We have also started a directory and calendar for Civil War Reenactment events. You can add your event or find one in your area at the bottom of this page! If you have information about an upcoming reenactment or Civil War event (walking tour, lecture, etc), please use the form at the bottom of this page to share it with our visitors. Your event will also be published on our public Google calendar - Civil War Re-enactment Events, allowing visitors to add your event to their calendars too!

There are good video clips of reenactments on YouTube and other sites, and there are some great reenactment videos and DVD's available for purchase.  Gettysburg has an annual reenactment , which they filmed in 2008 and now offer on DVD. If you can't make it to see the actual Gettysburg reenactment, you can still watch it at home.
