Battles For the Armory

From Battles For the Armory Website:

Tallassee Living History and Heritage Days, brought to you by The Tallassee Armory Guards (SCV Camp 1921) in conjunction with the new Talisi Cotton Belles (OCR Chapter 020), is a 4 day Veterans Weekend celebration featuring School Day, the Battles for the Armory live Civil War Reenactment and the new Talisi Arts & Crafts Fair. Located on the Historic Gibson's View Plantantion where there will be expansive open fields well suited to cavalry, camping areas with piped water and shower facilities, and modern camping areas with water only. If the Lord provides water, we will provide hay for cavalry horses. Come see what the excitement is all about!

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Battles for the Armory annual event. We have a spectacular event planned beginning Thursday with our School Day Living History Encampment where students will experience history of the 1860s to include culture, crafts, homemaking, dance, dress, weapons, toys, soap making, battle, medicine and much more giving the students new insight into day to day life during the 1860s.

The public is invited to join us Saturday and Sunday for a very family-oriented, fun-filled, and educational weekend event you don't want to miss out on. You will see a live portrayal of a Civil War battle, hosted by the 53rd Alabama Cavalry reenactors, along with many attractions to include a working blacksmith shop, carriage rides over the plantation, period foods, modern concession stands, crafts, and our usual Sutler's Village providing unique shopping opportunities of WBTS items for reenactors and the general public.

You will also have the unique opportunity to stroll through and shop our new Arts & Crafts Fair both Saturday and Sunday. There will be a variety of hand made items to shop from including woodworking, painting, jewerly, soap, candles, knives, and many other specialty items. We invite Arts and Crafts vendors of all types to join us as we bring the Talisi Arts & Crafts Fair to life. Vendor fee is waived this year. Please contact us for an application.

Saturday and Sunday is our NEW Talisi Arts & Crafts Fair.
