Nearly 5,000 re-enactors are expected from around the country to participate in the Bentonville Battlefield Civil War 150th Anniversary commemoration. Visit us in Johnston County as re-enactors re-create the last major battle and the largest land battle fought on North Carolina soil as the end of the war drew near. The public is invited to watch the action. Expectations are more than 60,000 will travel to the site over the weekend!

In addition to the daily battles, the weekend will feature free lectures, 19th century medical displays, period music and dozens of "sutlers" selling Civil War-related items. Advanced tickets for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity are now on sale online at www.150thbentonville.com, at the site via the gift shop, or by calling.
