The Antique Gas & Steam Museum will host a 2-day Civil War Reenactment from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day. The 40-acre museum is located at 2040 N. Santa Fe Ave (Click for map) in Vista. The event, developed by Gold Coast Festivals and Visions In Time Foundation will bring together Civil War reenactment groups from all over California who will spend the weekend recreating one of the most important periods in American History. This will be the largest reenactment ever held in this area. Visitors will have a fist hand look at the sights and sounds of battle as well as a chance at involvement in living history presentations in the camps. Visitors can expect to see real live cannon fire, period costumes, historical figures, authentic battles, meet with the soldiers in their camps, attend demonstrations and more during the two-day festival. Battles will be held twice daily at 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. both days. Civil War living history tours will be held throughout the weekend and include demonstrations as well as displays. The museum will also have walking tours of their collections of antique equipment and offer visitors a selection of food and refreshment. |
