Below are just a few of the reasons the Las Mariposas Civil War Days should be on your calendar!
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE and AUTHENTICITY
Our event takes place on part of the actual site of John C. Fremont's 44,000+ acre federal land grant. Active in Missouri and other places during the Civil War, many of our streets and buildings are named after he his family since they settled here. Additionally, Mariposa itself is chocked full of a history of its own, including the gold rush, and many other important times in California's past.
Our extraordinary event takes place on over 60 acres of land which resembles actual battlefield locations, as attested by prior reenactors. Inhibited only by your imagination, our site has wide open spaces with trees, draws, and a ravine. Here the cavalry lope their horses, cannon fire rages, and battle tactics and stategies are limitless in their potential. Overall, you couldn't ask for a better locale.
