Bob and Marti Are Off to the Battle of Aiken

THE BATTLE OF AIKEN,

SOUTH CAROLINA

We learned about the re-enactment of the 1865 Civil War battle in Aiken, South Carolina one afternoon while visiting the Aiken Chamber of Commerce. Since the original battle was fought by appoximately 6000 Union and Confederate soldiers on horseback and on foot in front of what is now the First Baptist Church on Richland Avenue near downtown Aiken, we found the whole idea to be fascinating, and enthusiastically purchased two tickets for the weekend of February 25 and 26, 2006.
