November 21 & 22, 2009
Camp Moore sponsors a Reenactment and Living History program every year. This event is always held the weekend before Thanksgiving (November 21st and 22nd, 2009). This is the major fund-raising event for Camp Moore. It also gives us a chance to reach out to the community in ways that we would not otherwise be able to do. It is a great family event. Reenactors are supplied with generous amounts of hay, firewood and water. There is always a Saturday evening meal provided and usually a Camp Dance is the order of the day. Scripted battles are fought on Saturday and Sunday. The camping and battle are done on sacred ground....the battle being fought on what was the Parade Ground and parts of Camp Tracy. In addition, we always have some type of memorial service to honor those men who came through Camp Moore. Registration is very simple and may be done by email. The contact for the reenactment is:

Year Round Living History
Camp Moore is proud to sponsor tours and school groups year round. We are committed to hosting school tours and teaching young people about their ancestors, how they lived, what they valued, what they fought with and what they fought for. Many times we have reenactors available to give presentations on various aspects of the Southern soldier's life. Shown below are examples:
Mr. Bob Hughes and Mike Pretus discuss weapons.
Mr. Murray Hall discusses rations and accoutrements.
Mr. Bob Hughes, Bill Engle and Mike Pretus aid in presentation of Flag talk.
