Weekend Civil War reenactments at which history enthusiasts attempt to live the life of a typical Civil War soldier are becoming increasingly popular. Such events are common in Arkansas, with one of the best known being held at the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park in Washington County. The event, which started in the 1980s, is held in early December during even years. Shown here are reenactors in 1980.
