Civil War Days Event
 The boom of cannons, the crack of rifles, the galloping of horse hooves welcomes you at the annual Civil War Days encampment, Saturday and Sunday, July 12 and 13, at Lakewood Forest Preserve in Wauconda. Wander the camps to see soldiers, civilians and tradesmen at work. Watch as union and confederate forces collide in battle and then visit the 1863 Summer Fair to meet President Lincoln and shop Civil War era vendors. Kids will love the crafts, games and a scavenger hunt.
