"November 1864 Battle of Bulls Gap" on April 23-25, 2010
**********************************************************************************
Presented in partnership with Owners of I-81 Motorsports Park in
Greene County, East Tennessee.
The I-81 Motorsports Park property consists of 482 acres of pristine
farmland, laced with six miles of trails, bountiful space for
battlefields and military camps, all with amazing views of
Fodderstack Mountain and the surrounding foothills.
Motor Park amenities include 21st century bathroom/shower
facilities, grandstands for 5,000 spectators, large areas visible to all
attendees, inside/outside grand ball facilities, and food vending on-
site.
Conveniently located less than two miles from Interstate 81,
Exit 44. Follow Jeroldstown Road South to West Pines Road.
Bear right on West Pines Road. I-81 Motorsports Park is one mile on
right.
Ammenities for re-enactors include firewood, hay, Saturday evening
meal, Grand Ball, Sunday Morning Christian Service and port-o-
toilets near camps.
The goal for this ETCWC event is to bring back the safe-fun days of
the 1970's and 1980's re-enacting adventures. Specific battle plans will
only be shared with US & CS Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry
Commanders. Surprise is the main venue for all attending the even.
Commanders are expected to command, the Companies must adhere to
the commands, and the troops perform without prior knowledge of what
to expect. The opportunity for all to feel what it was like going into a
new area and having to to react in the same manner as the "Boys of 61-
65" actually did.
Re-enactors are invited to setup on Friday, April 23, 2010, and enjoy an
early evening tactical. Handrawn maps of the trails will be provided just
like "Jed Hoskiss" made for General Stewart. Companies may get lost,
but fret not, there are plans to locate them and bring them back into
camp.
Camps will open to the public at 10:00AM on Saturday and close at
1:00PM. The re-enacted Battle of Bulls Gap will take place over two
days starting Saturday afternoon. The armies will form for battle at
1:30PM each day. The re-enacted segments of the Battle of Bulls Gap
will commence at 2:00PM each day.
