Reenactment on a site that was part of the actual battle. The unfolding of the war and the battle is largely told from Native American perspectives, by members of the tribes that participated in the conflict. The show features impressive displays of horseback riding by cavalry reenactors. Arrive early, bleacher seating gets crowded. Prepare for any weather. There's a few food and crafts vendors, but options are limited.

Major Marcus Reno's detachment retreated to this hill after attempting to attack an Indian encampment across the river, and were surrounded here until the next day. From this vantage point, you can piece together the early stages of the battle.
