Delavan Civil War Days Event Details:

Ever wonder what it's like to participate in a reenactment? Want to feel, smell, see and hear what it was like to live 150 years ago?

If you are interested in becoming a reenactor or want to try reenacting check out our unit host, The 9th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry, Co. B. They are based out of Central Illinois and do not require equipment or
experience to try it out. **Must be at leat 14 years old to carry a firearm and pass a drill test**

In between battles there are several demonstrations to view, historical figures to meet, camps, and Sutlers to see. There is a candy cannon and scavenger hunt for children to partake in to win a prize. There will be a ladies tea and fashion show, live medical and embalming
demonstrations as well as many other activities to discover. Meet President Lincoln, General Grant, General Lee and more! Watch the Marshall take down a Scoundrel. Dance in a Victorian style ball (no outfit needed). See the information page to find out more.
