The American Civil War Association will host its annual Knights Ferry Civil War Days on Saturday and Sunday, March 23 and 24, at the historic Knights Ferry Covered Bridge.

Battle times are Saturday, 1 pm. and 3:30 p.m., Sunday at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., with the North and South going to battle to reenact Civil War skirmishes.

Along with the battles, encampments on both sides of the river will offer a look at life during the Civil War period, with soldiers and their families taking up residence for the weekend.

Gates are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to view the encampments; the American Civil War Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving American heritage and sharing it with the general public. More information is available at www.acwa.org.
