1862 145th Anniversary Cycle
Working together, we are proud to present a complete campaign of events commemorating the 1862 145th Anniversary Year.
These events are based upon history first and foremost, with progressive scenarios based upon the Official Records and first person accounts. These events are organized and run by volunteers, with all proceeds going to historical preservation and interpretation of our heritage.
We are proud to present to you the opportunity to reenact the Battles of McDowell, the 1862 Valley Campaign, South Mountain and Antietam.
The hosts, to insure that the actions of a few do not detract from the experience of the many, will enforce all Safety and Authenticity regulations as written for each.
Together we will provide you with a real “Civil War Experience, 1862”, providing reenactors with the chance to relive these fateful actions.
With a proven track record of success, we are proud to present the following-
McDowell
May 4-6, 2007, Village of McDowell, Highland County, VA
Pridgeon's Shenandoah Legion, Highland Historical Society & Highland Chamber of Commerce cordially invite you to participate in the 145th Anniversary Commemorative Living History & Reenactment at McDowell, Virginia. The event web site is hosted at http://www.BattleofMcDowell.org (the 2005 event site, which will be updated no later than October 2006). All proceeds go to the Highland Historical Society's preservation efforts and local civic organizations.
The event is scheduled for May 4-6, 2007; with the principal activities taking place beginning Saturday morning, and culminating Sunday morning before noon. First-person is strongly encouraged (not mandatory); however we request all participants to refrain from modern conversational references as much as possible throughout the event.
The event is invitation only, and we will be representing both CS and US forces who are engaged in active campaign. Details regarding authenticity and safety requirements are available on the event web
site (they will not change from the 2005 event). Units, messes, and/or individuals who have not attended previously must be willing to undergo a pre-registration screening (references are strongly recommended as well). Attendance limited to 1,000.
1862 Valley Campaign

The event is limited to 2000 participants with Mounted Forces, Sutlers and Artillery by invitation only, as the enforcement of correct force ratios is paramount.
