This weekend in Hartford City the air will be filled with the smell of black powder and stew cooking over open fires.

Many sights and sounds throughout Saturday and Sunday will keep people entertained. President Lincoln will be there, as well as other impersonators giving talks and also having demonstrations of civil war-era duties. Both period and non-period food vendors will also be there to satisfy your food cravings.

There will be skirmishes during the two days and the Saturday 'battle' starts at 4 p.m. On Sunday the 'battle' will begin at 2 p.m. Also, there will be a 'night firing' of the cannons on Saturday night making for a grand show.
