Come help us celebrate Gov. Robert Furnas’ 200th Birthday, enjoy our famous Chicken and Bisquit Dinner, the Museums, and all the Demonstrations and displays. There will be a full Civil War Reenactment this year with skirmishes around town during the morning and battle Reenactment in the afternoon.

This event will take place on a site over 20 acres in size located on the western edge of Canton, SD adjacent to Bridge Road. The site features an open field for battle reenactment performed by reenactor groups based out of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota. Additionally, there is about nine acres of woods that will be used by some of the troops for campsites. This is to be representative of armies on the march. Artillery camps and civilian reenactors will also portray their roles in designated areas. Spectators can expect to feel like that have been brought back in time as they walk through the camps, visit with soldiers, and are taught a living history. They will experience the sound of cannon fire as crews exercise their guns during the battle scenarios. There will be the smell of gunpowder in the air and the soldiers themselves will have their wool uniforms covered in smoke and sweat. Those in attendance will see marching formations, witness battle tactics and hear orders barked out by commanders as well as by drum and bugle.
