Throughout the re-enacting season (Easter to the end of September)
we attend events at some of the most beautiful stately homes
and country parks in England. Why not bring the
family and spend a whole day enjoying the surroundings,
step back in time and watch exciting American Civil War battles,
hear the sounds of cannon, musket, fife and drum,
smell the woodsmoke, talk to the re-enactors,
witness camp and civilian life and experience living history portrayed
as it might have been in 1860s America, but be warned -
you may well want to come back time and time again!
