Lamoni's Annual Civil War Days provides the public with a multi-faceted, period-authentic representation of the American Civil War era
and provides the living historian, the period trades person and the reenactor communities with an unusually supportive venue
for displaying their respective hobbies,
and accomplishes all this in an entertaining and enjoyable manner.

2008 Weekend Activities
Civil War Days is a different event each year, so
click here to see the Detailed Schedule of our 2007 Event.
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 in 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 the living historian.
Military Command Structure
Will be determined after registration is complete.
