Each summer, on the second weekend in June, the Smithfield Community Association and the Town of Smithfield hold the annual Civil War Weekend. This event is used to raise money to preserve Peterboro’s historic buildings and sites.

Peterboro invites everyone to visit and experience what life was like 150 years ago. After visiting the soldiers camps enjoy the music, drama, storytelling, and period craft demonstrations. Come for a day, wander through Confederate and Union camps and listen to the stories of the men and women. Watch them drill for the battle. Each afternoon, hear the sound of cannons booming and muskets cracking. The smoke of gun powder will rise as the north and south face off for a very realistic battle reenactment.

Daily admission is $7 for adults, $3 for ages 6 - 12, and free for children under 6. Parking is free - follow the signs to behind the Firehouse. Separate $10 admission for the Saturday 8 p.m. concert at the Community Center is available at the door. 
For more information: 315-684-9022.

This Civil War living history event is hosted by the 12th US Infanty Co. A
