Reenactment brings back Civil War battle in Elkhorn

It’s blue versus gray today in one of western Iowa’s largest Civil War reenactments. Tammy Fahn is helping organize the event which is taking place beside the Danish Immigrant Museum in Elkhorn. She says it’s both a history lesson and quality family entertainment.The Civil War battles are scheduled for 2 P.M. today (Saturday) and 1:15 P.M. tomorrow (Sunday). There’s also an 1860s-era concert and dance tonight, following a twilight tour of the campsite and a live-fire demonstration of the cannons. In an unlikely combination, Fahn says the group is also hosting a classic car show today, with car lovers cruising to Elkhorn from across the region.For more information, call (712) 773-2199.
