Revolutionary War Reenactments in National Parks

Ninety Six National Historic Site hosts volunteer Revolutionary War groups. These groups follow strict guidelines as to the context of the camps, equipment displays, and any demonstration where historic weapons are discharged. Park hosted "living history events" are by invitation to specific groups and do not entail any battle recreations, which are prohibited on Federal property. View the National Park Service Policy on Re-enactments.
