Civil War Reenactors line the streets of downtown McConnelsville during the annual Civil War Encampment Days held  the second weekend of  July in Morgan County. Most activities are open to both reenactors and the general public and provide something for every taste and interest.

Weekend events include a night time cannon firing over the Muskingum River, tours by lamplight of both the Union & Confederate camps, a ladies tea (period clothing required),  a formal ball, several skirmishes on the downtown streets and the big battle reenactment at “Doc Richmonds” farm on Sunday afternoon. In addition there are lectures, speeches and demonstrations by reenacters that take place on the  ”battlefields”, the courthouse steps or in the field “hospital”.

All events are free and open to the public as is “Sutler’s Row”, the period marketplace selling reproduction wares and clothing. On hand to beat the heat is plenty of cold and tasty sarsparilla.

Free admission, free parking.
