This year the event is to be held on April 8th and 9th. All at the Long's Mariposa Ranch, once a part of John C. Fremont's historic 44,386 acre Las Mariposas Land Grant. Tour the military and civilian encampments where you will see firsthand how life was during this trying time in American history. Visit with both Confederate and Federal soldiers and see how they lived while on campaign. Walk thro
ugh the town of Longville and see how the war touched the day to day lives of the Civilians as well.

On Saturday there will be three battles; two day battles at 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm, followed by a evening battle at 7:00 pm. See as the soldiers prepare for battle, then watch as the muzzle flashes from the rifles and cannons light up the battlefield, and then join us as we wrap up the day with a bonfire stories and period music.
