Wade House Civil War Weekend 2011

Unread post by {DOU}Cygnus »

I attended this event a few years ago.
The Wade House was a stopping place for stage coaches and weary travelers before the advent of the automobile.
There is a Civil War reenactment every year on their grounds. 2011 is the 21st year of this event. Besides the reenactment, you can visit Confederate and Union camps, see what battlefield medicine was like in the 1860's and interact with the participants.
There is also a water-powered sawmill, blacksmith, carriage museum and other things to see and do while there. You can walk from place to place or get a ride on horse-drawn vehicles.
It's a fun way to spend a day @ $32 for a family.
