Civil War reenactment
History will be alive all weekend at Scenic Vista Park in Lisbon. The Shriver Grays Civil War reenacting group is hosting a living history program at the park. The program, which opened at 4 p.m. on Friday and will conclude at 1 p.m. on Sunday, features a civil war encampment, infantry drill and rifle firing demonstrations. Reenactors will bring the past to life with authentic encampments, military drills, period demonstrations and historical presentations. Attendees can walk through the camps, watch demonstrations and learn about the lives of soldiers and civilians during the Civil War era. This family-friendly event is free.
