Friday-Sunday: Galesburg Heritage Days
In this our 28th year, we are excited to bring you one of the Midwest’s largest and most unique free public admission living history events to be held at historic Lake Storey Park in Galesburg Illinois. Lake Storey is on the far north side of town, with 430 acres of wooded and rolling lands, all camps are on the shores of a 130 acre lake. Featuring both a Pre-1840 Early American Colonial/Frontier Rendezvous, and a thoroughly fielded Civil War Battle Encampment/ Reenactment, The 28th Galesburg Heritage Days is held at two separate but close venues at Lake Storey Park, all on the same weekend. Come share in the excitement with almost 1,000 fellow reenactors-living historians and almost 50 merchants and sutlers. Make plans to join us at The 2023 28th Galesburg Heritage Days, a free public admission family friendly event beginning at 8 a.m. on Friday and ending at 4 p.m. on Sunday.
