The Battle of Wildcat is Re-enacted
each October
- Each year the Camp Wildcat Preservation
Foundation supports the Laurel Home Guard in their annual re-enactment
of the Battle of Camp Wildcat.
-
- The re-enactment is unique in that
it is held on the actual Confederate encampment site from which
the Battle of Wildcat was staged.
-
- The re-enactment includes a special
day for area school children. On this day from 800 to 1,300 children
receive a lesson in living history. In addition to military scenes
from Civil War days, the children get to see other period activities
such as candle-making, soap-making, blacksmithing, doll-making,
butter-making, and similar activities. Period dress is also featured.
-
- Other activities include historical
speakers, a Ladies Tea and Social, a memorial service for those
who fought at the Battle of Wildcat in 1861, and a dance. All
in all it is good, family-oriented fun in beautiful rural surroundings.
