<< 2010 Civil War Days Weekend Activities >>
Civil War Days is a different event each year
and the 2010 event is still being constructed.
However, we will continue our practice of holding the major activities at the
same time every year,
and that's the Opening Ceremony at 10 AM on Saturday and
the major Battles at 3 PM Saturday/1 PM Sunday.
Our list of performers and subject matter experts who give presentations changes from year to year
to make certain the event remains fresh.
There are always unique activities in downtown Lamoni and in the encampment Town Square
that help bring the period alive,
so be sure to look at a detailed weekend event schedule.

As a result, we exist solely on the voluntary donations of our supporters.

Scenario
Our scenario is generic mid-war western theatre.
Civil War Days enjoys an unusually large
battlefield and our battle scenarios are designed
for and by the reenactors in attendance
and are intended to bring to life
as many of the Civil War-era military practices as possible.
Basic military objectives will be outlined at Officers' Call,
and spontaneity and creativity are encouraged.
Impressions
All period-authentic mainstream, campaign, and civilian impressions are welcome.
Our unique Event within the Event for Campaigners provides an
immersion experience during a mainstream event.
We extend a particular invitation to those who portray period specialties
such as blacksmith, preacher, surgeon, nurse, undertaker, etc.
Lamoni's Civil War Days is by and for living historians.
