A Walk Thru History in Batesville Saturday June 21st at 10am

Central Batesville will be busy on Saturday, as history takes over for about five hours. Batesville is the second oldest town in the state and has a rich Civil War History. The BOOMING sound of a cannon will be heard again just like in the days of the Civil War. The events featuring blacksmithing and artillery re-enactment demonstrations and displays are scheduled for the downtown area, although one of the programs will be at Old Independence Regional Museum. For more information and schedule of events you may contact Project Coordinator, Gail Ferguson Harley at (870) 793-7739.
