Battle of Centralia Civil War Battle Re-enactment Photo Essay

Posted by The Owl Lady on September 14, 2014 in News, Posts or Views

Today, my husband and I went to a nearby town–Centralia, Missouri–to attend their ‘Re-enactment to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Centralia along with the Mount Zion Battle’. The event took place of the historic battlefield southeast of Centralia.

I took lots of photos and wanted to share them. The ‘Friends of Centralia Battlefield’ did a wonderful job of creating a replica of camps from that time period. The Civil War Re-enactors did a great job, too.

Next weekend, the Boone County Historical Society will hold their 37th Annual Heritage Festival. I’m looking forward to that, as well.
