Fort Bowie Encampment
We will again be returning to Fort Bowie to establish a living history encampment on the site. This is a first person immersion event with fatigue details, picket posts, guard duty, etc. Select individuals will serve as historical interpreters for the public while the rest carry on their duties in first person From the time you awake on Saturday until the event ends on Sunday, first person as well as millitary discipline should be maintained. We will be sleeping in common tents and serving prepared rations from a company mess. We do have slots for guest reenactors to participate but they must regester and recieve approval prior to the event. There is a registration fee of $15 to cover the cost of rations.
Members of the 1st CA will be onsite all day Friday setting up and providing historic interpretation to the public. Ration issue as well as weapons and kit inspections will be held Friday night. The event will be live from the the time we awake on Saturday until the event ends at 1:00PM on Sunday. We are guests of the National Park Service and will conduct ourselves as such while on site. Please contact Troy Groves if you have any questions.
