CIVIL WAR COTILLION

FELLOW REENACTORS
The First (Annual?) Cotillion was truly a memorable occasion. Fancy dress, uniforms, and proper etiquette were abundant (Most of the time!). The weather was perfect and I believe our Living History presentation to the public was well received. Besides all that, we had a wonderful time!

SUNDAY, JULY 18, 1863 (1999)
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Period music for dancing throughout the day was provided by The American Ragtime Ensemble. The laughter of children at play rang through the meadow and the clip-clop of Horse and Carriage was the icing on the cake. The stark white Dunsmuir Mansion was a perfect backdrop for magnificent pictures against a gorgeous blue sky. Click Here to see pictures of the 1999 event: Cotillion Pictures
