Day Trip to Calico for Civil War Days
If you missed my post about our fun day at Civil War Reenactment, you can read it here. These events are so much fun and really brings history to life. Here is some information about a day trip one of the groups in our area has put together. Have fun!
The deadline for registration has been moved up to Friday, February 8th.
This will be an interesting day trip, and since the Nevada Civil War History Association is a Nevada 501(c)3 non-profit group, each person who attends the trip to Calico will receive a letter of receipt for their payment with the EIN number of the NCWHA. Your payment is tax deductable.
The Nevada Civil War History Association (NCWHA), is hosting a bus trip to Calico Ghost Town on Silver State Coaches on Saturday, February 16th.
The tour bus will leave the Meadows Mall (at the Dillard’s lower level entrance) at 8:00am on Saturday morning, and return by 7:30pm. We will spend the day at the Calico Ghost Town in Yermo, California. This is one of the oldest silver mining ghost towns in the West. For President’s Day weekend, they are having a special event- a Civil War Reenactment event.
There will be hundreds of reenactors attending from the Southwest states, and Generals Grant and Lee will be there, along with
President Lincoln. Watch two exciting battles during the day, one at 11:45am and one at 2:30pm, visit soldier camps, hear the canons blast, see a Ladies Civil War era fashion show, crafts, blacksmithing, mining tours and visit the Calico shops. Hear
President Lincoln recite the Gettysburg Address in the Calico town square.It’s an enjoyable day, and a chance to see history come to life in the Old West! The Nevada Civil War History Association is a local Las Vegas non-profit 501(c)3 educational organization made up of volunteers who present living history programs to the Las Vegas
schools. Come along with us to enjoy a fun Saturday Day Trip, and join us for only $35 per person. This includes the roundtrip
transportation and the admission to the event. The admission to the event is $10, and we include this cost in the fee for the bus trip.We will stop for a break in Baker, California, on the way to Calico, and again on the way back to Las Vegas. This is a convenient and comfortable way to attend one of the most interesting venues for a Civil War reenactment that is near the Las Vegas area. If you are visiting Las Vegas during this weekend, this day trip is also a fabulous one day adventure that allows you to experience some of the sights away from the Strip, and to see a little of our Old West.
The registration deadline is February 8th. Please contact Don Hotchkiss if you need more information or have any questions. Don can be reached at (702) 875-1893.
The payment for the trip is tax deductable, and you will receive a letter of receipt for your payment. Also, if for any reason, the
trip is canceled, everyone will receive a full refund.
