Ushers Ferry Civil War Re-Enactment                Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Join us on September 16th and 17th for the last Civil War Re-enactment at Ushers Ferry Historic Village. This is the final year for this event. The normally tranquil town bustles with a garrison-sized encampment of artillery, infantry, cavalry, medical corps and sutlers that spread across the length and breadth of the Village. Wherever one turns, they are likely to find a slice of 1860's life: military drills, a Civil War field hospital, or a funeral for a fallen soldier are just a few of the possibilities one may discover while strolling through the town and camps.
