The sixth annual “Civil War Living History” at Confederate Memorial Park in Marbury was April 29-30.
A “skirmish” took place April 30 with about 100 volunteers taking part in the reenactment effort.
There was also a variety of living history stations for visitors, such as music, cavalry, wooden musket drills, flags and civilian way of life.
Confederate Memorial Park is owned and operated by the Alabama Historical Commission.
