General Grierson Days in Jacksonville is a time for visitors to look back at one of the darkest periods in American history and see the largest mounted Civil War reenactment in the Midwest. Visitors can see the lives of soldiers as they drill, prepare meals, practice medicine and prepare for battle. Food, a parade and a full period-dress grand ball are planned, plus a tour of historic area homes.
