Stones River National Battlefield has some really good extra programs (that are FREE) that they often offer. I'm sure plenty of other state and national parks do the same, but Stones River is so close that it's hard for me to pass up on what they offer.
Last week they brought back the cavalry division. While re-enactments aren't unusual for battlefields, mounted re-enactments are a bit rarer. This mounted unit showed how cavalry would have fought in the Civil War and what their weapons would have been. Afterwards there was a Civil War band that played. There was a nice little crowd that came, but it was a great event to witness even in the heat. I suggest always checking the event listing at local national parks for free, well-orchestrated events.
