Battle of Bentonville

The reenactment of the Civil War Battle of Bentonville takes place in NC every 5 years. We were blessed that is was this year, during the month of our study of the Civil War.


30,000 people were expected to attend this event, this is along the walk to the battlefield.


We plopped our chairs down and Big C was convinced that people would sit down. Unfortunately, they didn't happen, so he and the little boys didn't see much. The big boys and I made out way to the front and I was on my knees in the dirt for an hour, but it was worth it!

After the battle, marching off the field.

The boys all got new guns and were just a tad excited. Don't miss C2 on the ground in the back!

Gotta love history!
