Held in Sidney’s 226-acre Tawawa Park, the biennial Civil War Living History Weekend provides visitors the opportunity to visit both Union and Confederate encampments, talk with reenactors about the life of soldiers during the war, watch the soldiers skirmish, hear published authors talk about topics they have researched and written about, and purchase books directly from those authors.
Refreshments available from food trucks, wares for purchase available from sutlers, and memories that last a lifetime.
