Step into Civil War history on river bluffs
Spend a spring weekend with Union and Confederate reenactors, living-history camps, and demonstrations at Port Hudson State Historic Site overlooking the Mississippi River.
Event details
Port Hudson’s spring reenactment weekend brings the battlefield to life with period camps, drills, and demonstrations that make Civil War history easier to picture for kids. Walk the grounds as reenactors explain daily life, equipment, and tactics from the 1863 siege, all set above a broad Mississippi River bend.
Arrive early for the best access to camp life, then explore the site’s trails and interpretive stops between programs. Ear protection is a smart add-on for families when artillery demonstrations begin.
