Take a trip to where the Civil War happened in Indian Territory. The Honey Springs Battlefield Historic Site 2015 Reenactment is an excellent opportunity to attend an outstanding reenactment that recreates the appearance of the battle fought on July 17, 1863.

The reenactment will take place over the weekend of the 7th and 8th of November, 2015. In addition to the reenactment there will be portrayals of Civil War era civilians including men, women, and children from infants to young adults as diverse as soldiers' aid societies, sutlers, proprietors, and musicians.

Be sure to meet the Civil War reenactors in attendance from across the United States. This will be a scripted battle, which means that the reenactor companies and regiments make the same actions that were taken in the original battle on the original battle ground.

On Saturday, November 14, at 10 a.m. Fort Gibson will host Fall Bake Day. Partnering with the Friends of Fort Gibson, Bake Day is a fundraiser and educational event that depicts one aspect of army life after the Civil War. The aroma of fresh baked bread will fill the air on Garrison Hill as Fort Gibson staff and volunteers bring a bake house to life. This living history presentation details the bread making process, with Rory Montgomery explaining how to bake bread in an old wood-fired stone oven. Guests can enjoy bread baking demonstrations and sample the finished product. Visitors also may bring their own bread to bake in the oven at Fort Gibson, then spend the day viewing a reconstruction of the early log fort as well as original buildings from the 1840s through 1870s. Exhibits detailing the history of the fort are located in the Commissary Visitor Center on Garrison Hill. For more information please contact Omar Reed at 918-478-4088 or  oreed@okhistory.org
