On July 14th and 15th, 2012, the quaint north coast town of Duncans Mills, California, will become the fields of Virginia circa 1863.

Civil War Days will once again be on tap as one of the largest re-enactments west of the Mississippi.

Civil War Days will give visitors the opportunity to interact with the soldiers and civilians of the Civil War.

You'll witness the camps of the Union and Confederacy, see how civilians lived and served with the armies of 1863, in what was referred to as the first "modern war."

This will be an event that will not only serve as an educational experience, but an unforgettable trip that will delight audiences of all ages.
