The event took place just miles from the original surrender site.
In addition to re-enactors, there were demonstrations, Union and Confederate encampments, cannon firings, and period music.
The re-enactment of Battle of Day’s Gap, including the capture of two of General Forest’s prized cannons, took place Saturday.
