Peter, It's a really nice park now, of course quite small compared to Gettysburg or Shiloh, but we are proud of it.

Here's a site that you might enjoy, and I recommend the video. It was made with the help of several reenactor groups, and we have a dear friend who is in it. About 5 minutes in, you will see a guy in an over coat and a dark red scarf - the first Confederate soldier he stops at is our friend Justin.

Just FYI, Justin is a remarkable young man. He was top graduate in high school, accepted in all 4 of our military academies and graduated from West Point. His first assignment after graduation was with the 82 Airborne who were just being sent to Afghanistan. He was wounded in a rocket attack, but in spite of it he helped two injured enlisted men, one whose life he saved until the medics got there.
