Annual Civil War Reenactment, June 21 & 22

Mark your calendars and plan on a visit to the Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA) over the weekend of June 21 and 22. Please join us then in celebrating the return of the 144th New York State Volunteers as they form together once more to recognize, remember and reenact two battles of the Civil War.

The 144th Regiment was the largest and best known regiment mustered in Delaware County during the Civil War, composed almost entirely of Delaware County residents. The regiment was formed during the summer of 1862 and was stationed at different locations throughout the war. The bloodiest battle in which it was involved was fought in South Carolina at the end of 1864 – Honey Hill.

Co-hosted by DCHA and the 144th New York Reenactment Group, the weekend events will include two Civil War battlefield reenactments (Chamberlain’s Charge and the Battle of Honey Hill), a “day in the life of a new recruit,” living history demonstrations, cannon fire, kids’ drills, military surgeon, and more. Participants will include re-enactors representing both Union and Confederate troops.

The event takes place at the Delaware County Historical Association on Saturday and Sunday, June 21 and June 22. Lunch available for purchase on both Saturday and Sunday.

Admission: Adults $10.00; Military (retired or active) $5.00; Children 12 and under free.
