The Civil War Singers will make a most welcome return to Fort Donelson National Battlefield on Saturday, August 27, 2011, at 6:00. They will perform at the park's lower picnic area, with a beautiful view of Lake Barkley/ Cumberland River. The concert is offered free of charge. In case of uncooperative weather, the concert will be held at the park's visitor center.

The Singers will present songs that will take you back to the days of the Civil War. Groups like this are essential to preserving the unique musical heritage of America and the Civil War era. We are grateful for their willingness to share their time and talents with us.
