Occupation's Of Sandersville

A Historic Civil War Reenactment

October 24 through 26, 2025

We are pleased to have you join us for a journey back though time to 1864. We strive to make this event both reenactor and spectator friendly. Our deepest appreciation goes to our sponsors and supporters whose generosity makes these events possible. We also appreciate the sincere dedication of the reenactors and a small army of local volunteers in preserving and sharing our history.

Our event offers many opportunities to participate with something to please everyone. The Blue-Gray Masquerade Ball is open to the public, which is a rare occurrence for most reenactments. The Christian Worship Service provides all with the opportunity to share a church service with others from near and far.

While you are here, take time to explore some of the local attractions and shopping opportunities.
