Come take a step back in time to 1864. Find out how Californians reacted to the great Civil War that was embroiling the rest of the nation! See how Californians lived back in wild and wooly frontier California. Meet the soldiers and civilians that kept California in the United States of America.
At this weekend reenactment, visitors are invited to meet and talk to the soldiers and civilians that lived and worked at Fort Tejon 143 years ago. Hands-on interpretive learning demonstrations will be conducted for the park visitor. This interpretive program will demonstrate to the public what the duties and activities of the civilians and soldiers were at this mountain post. Civilians from the time period and soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment will portray actual persons that were at Fort Tejon in accurate and authentic first-person representations.
FORT TEJON STATE HISTORIC PARK is located on Interstate 5, just north of Lebec, about 36 miles south of Bakersfield and 77 miles north of Los Angeles.
