The weather was favorable for the first day of the Brooksville Raid Civil War Reenactment.
Thousands of spectators came to the Sand Hill Scout Reservation in Brooksville to walk through the soldier camps, check out the civil war merchandise in the Sutler tents before settling down to watch the battle unfold on the field.
If you missed the action today, you can still attend day 2 of the reenactments tomorrow, please click here for times and information or go to www.BrooksvilleRaid.com.
I'm so glad you posted photos of this event, Silvia. It looks like it was a wonderful thing to witness.

Good morning Silvia. I'm curious to know if the same side wins each time or do they vary the results?

George Souto hope you'll be able to check it off soon!
Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD good weather definitely makes it a nicer experience for everyone and makes for a greater turnout.
Gabe Sanders thank you for asking. Typically, the first day, the Union soldiers will win, the second day, the Confederates will win!

Never been to one of those and it would be probably accidental if I did. Those folks do take it seriously.

What great photos, we have some revolutionary events near us it must be a lot of fun to attend one of these events, although they don't reveal the horror that war entails it may help people have an interest in their history.
