The railroad is PACKED due to the large number of visitors for the event so get tickets in advance. We recommend you bring earplugs or get some at the train depot - the cannon and large guns are VERY loud.

Memorial Day Fun - Civil War Reenactment at Roaring Camp Railroad in Felton, CA
Over the Memorial Day weekend, Roaring Camp Railroad in Felton (a small town in the Santa Cruz Mountains; Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is literally next door) hosts a U.S. Civil War reenactment. Several hundred men and women dress up in period clothes and camp out on the railroad grounds for the weekend. Participants reenact a skirmish several times daily, firing Civil War period rifles, cannon, and large guns. The event is a lot of fun - particularly if you have any interest in history (or want the kids to have an interest).
