Perryville Battlefield will have special emphasis on horses Theme will be 'Horse Soldiers - Cavalry in the American Civil War. Effort will tie in with the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington, KY From KY Department of Parks PERRYVILLE, KY - Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site is planning its annual Civil War battle re-enactment with a special emphasis on horses for 2010. That's because the October 2-3, 2010 re-enactment weekend occurs during the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. The Games are the world's most prestigious equestrian event and will attract guests from around the world September 25-October 10, 2010. The theme for the Perryville re-enactment will be "Horse Soldiers - Cavalry in the American Civil War." There will be expert speakers on cavalry, cavalry demonstrations, and museum exhibits focusing on horses. The weekend will feature two battles at the park, which preserves the location of the 1862 event, the largest Civil War battle in Kentucky.. The keynote speaker is Ken Knopp, an authority on Civil War cavalry and author of "Saddle Makers of the Confederacy" and "Confederate Cavalry and Horse Equipment." "This will be a great opportunity for guests from Kentucky and around the world to learn more about the important role that horses played in the Civil War," said Parks Commissioner Gerry van der Meer. The re-enactment commemorates the most destructive Civil War battle in the state, which left more than 7,600 killed, wounded or missing. The newly renovated park museum tells of the battle that was the South's last serious attempt to gain possession of Kentucky. The battlefield is one of the most unaltered Civil War sites in the nation; vistas visible today are virtually those soldiers saw on that fateful day in 1862. Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site, 1825 Battlefield RoadPerryville, KY, is 59 miles north of the Adair County Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY.
