I really liked the inside of all the shops - the light from the tents was perfect and it was fun to see what everyone had for sale.

Reinactors in Bowling Green
July 19th and 20th, I attended the Civil War Living History Weekend at Lost River Cave.
It was really fun. I'll be posting some more Lost River Cave photos from that weekend soon.

Lost River Cave's Civil War Reenactment
I went to the Lost River Cave Civil War Reenactment yesterday. Boy, did I ever jump when the cannons went off!
This photo and the title are from the American Memory government archives at:

Here is a slideshow about the cave:

It was great. There were women there in hoop skirts, metal workers, tents set up (much like the photo), and troops marching and shooting rifles.
I'm glad I dragged Rickey there. It was fun. AND the gift shop is great. Do you know that there is a sluice set up outside where you can "pan" for precious stones? Also, a bridge has been set up that spans the valley.
They have done a GREAT job improving Lost River Cave. Next time I hope to take the boat ride and see the butterflies, too.
