Billie Creek Village welcomes Civil War Re-Enactors from all over the United States to participate in the annual Civil War Days. Each year, famous battles of the Civil War are fought throughout the village and farm lands over the two day event.
The public is invited to witness the battle action from specially constructed battle side vantage points as well as visit the various Civil War medical and civilian displays. Unique goods and sundries are available from the Billie Creek General Store, crafters and special Civil War sutlers in and around the village itself. There will be an authentic Civil War era dance at the village on Saturday evening.
