The Reenactment


Prepare to be transported back to 1864 to a small but growing railroad town in central Missouri. Re-live everyday life with food, entertainment, crafts, vendors, musicians, storytellers and the reenactment of The Battle of Centralia on both Saturday and Sunday. 

There will be participating events for men, women and children of all ages. The event is brought to you by Friends of Centralia Battlefield, a  501c3 non-profit organization.

There is no charge for any events of the weekend with the exception of parking. Food and souvenirs may be purchased at your discretion.

The Battlefield

The battlefield is 3 1/2 miles southeast of the town of Centralia, Missouri.

Music

Don't expect rap, hip-hop, rock and roll or heavy metal for entertainment. The event will have traditional musicians and singers. You're more than likely to hear a banjo and a fife.
