These Re-enactors are representing elements of the Wisconsin 5th Regiment which fought in the American Civil War. The skirmishing represented this day re-enacts the final day of fighting in Virgina before the Surrender of Confederate forces under Gen. Robert E. Lee.
It should be noted that this re-enactment took place in "Old World Wisconsin" and not Virginia. :)
I was able to attend this event with some friends yesterday. It was quite interesting and fascinating...particularly as I have had some time to read and study up on the Civil War lately...a hobby of mine :)
