Welcome to The Perryville Civil War Battlefield Website

Reenactor Information

Purpose

The primary purpose of the Perryville reenactment is to recreate, on a small scale, the events of the Battle of Perryville for the education and entertainment of the participants and park visitors. We should attempt to portray these events as accurately as possible, consistent with the available space, personnel, historic information, and other resources. This event is critical in our preservation efforts as it draws attention to and raises money for ongoing battlefield preservation efforts. 

Opportunities to Participate

The 148th Commemoration of the Battle of Perryville will offer an array of unique ways to participate in our event. In honor of the FEI World Equestrian Games our event will include scenarios where cavalry participation is sought and encouraged. The scenarios chosen will include ample opportunity for action by all arms and we are seeking infantry as well as full size artillery. Bounties will be available for cavalry and artillery. Rations and living history program available for all arms. The event will be a semi-immersion with a Military Living History program and the Living History Village. The following information will direct you on how to participate in each program.
