SECESSIONVILLE
Living History
and
Battle Reenactment

The Confederate Heritage Trust would like to thank all of people who attended or participated in the Living History and Battle of Secessionville Reenactment. If you missed the 2009 re-enactment, please make plans to attend the 2010 event.

One hundred forty-eight years ago, June 14, 1862, a small group of Confederates soldiers from the 1st SC Artillery had just completed a portion of the earthwork embankments of Tower Battery located on James Island. The battery came under assault in a pre-dawn attack from an invading Federal force. The ensuing battle proved disastrous for the invading Federals. Outmanned 3 to 1, the Confederate troops stood their ground and won a decisive victory that would signify Charleston's strong defenses against the invading Federal forces. On November 13 - 14, 2010, history will repeat itself in the form of living history.  Step back into time as men, women and children present what life may have been like during the Antebellum era. Become a part of that era with interactive historical displays. Come relive the actions of the men who fought with honor and courage as the Confederate Heritage Trust in association with Boone Hall Plantation bring you the 20th Annual Re-enactment of the Battle of Secessionville.

FUTURE BOS RE-ENACTMENT DATES TO REMEMBER!

The Battle of Secessionville is sponsored by the Confederate Heritage Trust, Inc, a non-profit charity dedicated to the preservation of Southern heritage relics and symbols. Our goal is not the glorification of war but the education of the next generation on the horror and tragedy of it's consequences, that courage, honor and valor are personal traits we each possess, which we each must rely on when words fail and we are forced to pick up a sword.

All of the profits received by the CHT from this event are donated for preservation efforts, including the restoration efforts of the submarine H. L. Hunley. The event is educational, fun, family oriented, and our Sutler row is a great place to buy unique Christmas presents!
