Civil War Days
Calico Ghost Town
Yermo, California
February 2004
"A piece of American History traditionally takes place in the historic silver mining town of Calico Ghost Town every Presidents Day weekend. The north assaults the town defended by the south. Imagine yourself in an occupied town under martial law. Canon fortifications, hospital encampments, Robert E. Lee's makeshift headquarters and military drills are all part of the weekend town life. Abe Lincoln performs the Gettysburg Address. General Grant and troops will be arriving in town on train and on foot. Step back more than 100 years to this authentic Civil War reenactment in Calico Ghost Town." http://www.calicotown.com/civilwar/index.html
