Fabulous Civil War Day!

We had a spectacular Civil War Day on Saturday, August 1, with Kurt Lafy and his hardy band of re-enactors. More than 100 people visited the site, enjoyed the skirmishes and cannon fire, marveled as the Blacksmiths worked their forge and petted King Solomon, a gorgeous 17 hand steed who came to represent the cavalry. Visitors enjoyed chatting with the re-enactors, as well as touring the site and the LaPorte House. Many spent the day, enjoying picnics under our pavilion and walking the nature trail down to our newly-refurbished river access.
