Lincoln's Lebanon Civil War Re-enactment & Military Encampment is a week-end long annual event that is proudly offered by the Boone County Historical Society. Union and Confederate re-enactment soldiers primarily from Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois, together with their families,
are encamped in Lebanon's Memorial park portraying life in the 1800's.
Battles with real cannons and muskets take place both days along with demonstrations of weaving, potter making, and blacksmithing.
A medical doctor and a mortician portray their practices of the times.
And of course President Lincoln, General Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis are there!
In addition to the re-enactment events, there is music, food, and our general store that offers baked goods and cookies, candles, kettle corn, beef jerky, jams and jellies, honey, peanut putter and other period appropriate merchandise.
Traditionally this even takes place the last weekend of September each year.
This is an admission free event.

The 2024 Lincoln's Lebanon Civil War Re-enactment and Military Encampment is in the books!
A special Thank You to all of our amazing sponsors, vendors, re-enactors and volunteers who make this event possible each year.
