Marching into battle

Battle of Pleasant Hill               August 14-16, 2009

Mason City Civil War Council would like to take this opportunity to invite you to our 16th annual Civil War Battle & Encampment.   Medical Personnel check-in is Thursday Evening and Friday Morning; Normal Check-in is Friday. Please see Medical Page for more information.

     We are returning to the Spring of 1864 in an arena that was then called “the western theater.”  Along with our usual activities we will also be hosting the national organization of The Field Hospital and their annual summer Medical demonstration. Join us in welcoming Civil War surgeons from all over the United States as they display their skill and knowledge. We will also be welcoming the elite of the artillerymen as they demonstrate their skills during the School of the Artillery (see the schedule page for more details).

     This promises to be an exciting event and we are anticipating a large number of participants and spectators.

       We would like to be on your agenda this year, so follow our links and find out more about our civil war event.  If you have any questions please e-mail us
