The Battle of Pea Ridge reenactment is set for Sept. 24-27 on the Webb family farm, four miles north of downtown Pea Ridge.
It is a picturesque and pristine 340-acre seventh-generation farmstead located in the Greenbelt surrounding the 4,300 acre Pea Ridge National Military Park, the best preserved Civil War Battlefield in the nation, according to Steve Bailey, organizer.
The sponsor is the Arkansas Reenactor Educational Association.
Everyone is welcome, as is the Trans-Mississippi general rule. Wood, water, hay, sanitation, and $2,000,000 insurance is available for only $8 per person, military or civilian reenactor. There will be four battles fought over three days, taken from the pages of history, straight out of the annals of Shea and Hesse. Welfley's Knoll, the fight for the Elkhorn Tavern, and other vignettes, will portray the largest and most significant Battle of the Civil War fought West of the Mississippi River.
