To Arms…
August 14-16 2009, the 2nd Connecticut Volunteer Heavy Artillery will host their second Civil War reenactment in historic Woodbury CT. Woodbury is conveniently located in western CT and is easily accessible via I-84.
The event itself is held on 75+ acres of beautiful Three Rivers Park. This reenactment will have several features not usually found at events including trenches, pyrotechnics and several unique and elaborate battle scenarios. Additionally, many of the premier sutlers and food vendors will be on site. Ample and convenient reenactor parking will be available as well.
The camp layout will be garrison in style with formal company streets and all of the amenities like wood, water and hay (for horses). We encourage all units to attend, as this is an event that will accommodate all levels of reenacting. Civilians, cadets, special impressions, etc., are welcomed.
The civilian town of Unity will be on site. Along with formal Union and Confederate camps, there is also limited space for those who wish to go campaign style.
Both the town of Woodbury and the Western Connecticut Tourism Bureau have contributed considerable resources so as to ensure that this event will be first rate. Because of the marketing power of the Tourism Bureau, spectator attendance is expected to be high. This provides an excellent opportunity for CT based units to recruit new members.
Since this is one of the few Civil War reenactments in the New England area this year, we encourage all of our reenacting brothers (and sisters) to take advantage of this unique event.
