Throughout the Civil War, the mountain passes and roads between Tennessee and North Carolina were vital for the movement of troops and supplies. None were more important than the Buncombe Turnpike built in 1828 that ran through the mountains at Warm Springs, North Carolina. This area would see many conflicts throughout the war, with both sides trying to gain control of the area. Come visit and experience firsthand Confederate and Union Armies clashing in battle. Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry elements will be engaged in controlling this vital ground. Visit period vendors and buy what the soldiers would have bought. Stroll through the camps and talk with the soldiers, listen to their stories, enjoy the camaraderie of their fires and songs. This event is made possible through donations and support from the following sponsors. Please take a moment to visit their website or contact link. Be sure to visit with them when you are there! |
