Great stuff!
I live in Fayetteville, WV and recently during the July 4th weekend they have been having a civil war cannon firing demo at the court house and a little camp set up on the lawn of one of the old houses in town. Now granted I think only like two houses are still here that were of that period but they're trying... I think it is really interesting and am glad they are doing it. We actually had a battle of Fayetteville here during the civil war. There is nothing left to indicate such anymore. There are a couple of historic signs up and there is a little cemetary of confederate soldiers that is dangerously close to where they put the new WalMart and Lowes. I actually had an intense arguement with a woman at a yard sale one time during the Walmart invasion as I call it. She was arguing that those weren't really civil war graves because the tomb stones weren't that old. The Daughters of the American Revolution banded together before this dumb broad's time and did some fund raising for new stones! I know this because I was friends with one of the ladies who was involved in the DAR at the time.
