21st Annual Civil War Encampment Days

Event Details

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

Weekend events include a night time cannon firing over the Muskingum River, tours by lamplight of both the Union & Confederate camps each evening, a ladies tea (period clothing required), the formal ball, several skirmishes on the downtown streets and the big battle reenactment at "Doc Richmonds" farm on Sunday afternoon ends three days of fun and exciting living history.

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.
