For over thirty years, the Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation has hosted an annual large-scale reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Creek to commemorate this critical moment during the last months of the American Civil War. On the third weekend of October, which often falls very close to the actual anniversary of this engagement, the reenactment is hosted alongside many other activities to remember the men that fought here and to recognize the community that this battle affected.
Complimented by educational programs such as presentations, displays, demonstrations, and the personal engagement of the reenactors with members of the public, this large-scale event offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and gain a new perspective in how this war, which ended over 160 years ago, shaped the world we live in today.
We hope you join us for this special weekend as history comes to life! During this two day event, reenactors recreate the last major battle in the Shenandoah Valley. See cavalry, artillery, and infantry soldiers in action and in camp. Battle scenarios, music, presentations, and medical, military, and civilian demonstrations are scheduled each day. Fundraising raffles, merchants, and food vendors onsite!
