Lamoni's Annual Civil War Days is growing because we are committed to building our event around the needs & interests of the reenacting community. We embrace all types of impressions so long as they are period-correct. We welcome every unit that wants to improve its impression and honor the memory of its ancestors. More units join us each year because they hear about our reputation for being reenactor-centered. We are committed to doing things the right way and value the input from individuals and units, and we invite any reenactor who genuinely cares about living history to join us. We invite you to reference our event with any individual or any unit who attends. For registration information, visit our Registration section. We hope to see everyone there September 1-2!
