Battle of Aiken
Date: February 20, 2010
Time: 9 am
Carolina’s Largest Outdoor Drama. This reenactment brings to life the Battle of Aiken which occurred February 11 and 12, 1865 and was the last victory for the Confederacy. The Battle of Aiken has won the Governor’s Award for Carolina’s best tourist event and the Dr. James Butler national award for the best living history program. Reenactors eat, sleep, live and fight in a painfully recreated version of the world in 1865. The Civil War battle has grown from a few hundred men with muskets to a full-blown Civil War festival. In addition to battle reenactments, there are authentic 19th-century military encampments and reproductions of medical facilities. Also featured are concessions and settlers selling goods comparable to the time in history of the battle. 9 am to 5 pm. Free parking & handicapped parking is available.
