The cannons boomed and soldiers scurried reenacting battles of the Civil War last weekend. The hillside was full of spectators watching the battles. Good weather and a good turnout of soldiers and spectators. At the Covered Bridge there was a dedication ceremony and plaque presentation because the bridge is now a National Historic Monument. Army Lieutenant Cornel Tandy made the presentation and ribbon cutting and unveiling of the plaque. Heather Wright, Head Ranger and Park Manager Duane Johnson also spoke.
