Spotlight on the Hill – Old Fort Mac Arthur

Old Fort Mac Arthur hosts

multi-era reenactment

History buffs from around the Western United States showed up at Old Fort MacArthur Days last July for a multi-era historical reenactment. Unlike most events that focus on a single time period, here one saw encampments of ancient Britons and Romans, civil war cavalrymen, Napoleonic infantry, World War II leathernecks and peoples of other times and places. Alongside the soldiers were all the other people who enable armies to function, including blacksmiths, surgeons, cooks, nurses, and other artisans.
