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.
