We attended the Reenactment on May 16, 2015 to honored a cousin wounded in the Battle of Resaca on May 14, 1864. Amazing was the talent and liveliness of the actors and horses which painted a beautiful picture of the Battle Strategy. Thank You to All for your time and effort. Traveled from Tennessee and Maryland.

I went to the reenactment sunday and I was impressed! Everyone spent so much time trying to create a "period" experience. I applaud all those people who spent their time and provided a chance for us to feel and see the battle. I was completely overwhelmed that someone would allow a helicopter and all the noise and... more

My daughter and I drove from Marietta , Ga. on 5/17/15 to enjoy the day. The Calvary demo was wonderful. Then comes along a noisy Helicopter circling and did this the whole battle reenactment. This ruined the performance and was not called for. The public was devastated. You could not hear anything but the artillery... more

Just wondering if the 12th Cavalry is still using the battle flag I sewed for them years ago? I made it to last, curious if its stitching still holds!
