Civil War Re-enactment This Weekend...

Here in Northern Illinois- it will be just outside of Deer Grove at the Sandy Pine Elk Farm. The battles will be Sat. & Sun the 30th & 31st.
This is located about 70-75 miles north of Peoria straight up Rte. 40. It is only about 8 miles from where I live so I think I am going to go tomorrow. I have never been to one- want to see if there are women dressed in period costume.
If you live in Illinois it would be a good day trip.
The actual address is 28650 Hannaman Road
Deer Grove, Il 61243

    I hope you get some pictures if there are any women in period costumes! How neat that would be.
