Annual Battle of Morseville
Dave Pierce Memorial
Civil War Reenactment
Stockton, Illinois (USA)
1998 to 2017
Thank you! to everyone who helped make the Battle of Morseville Stockton Civil War Reenactment a memorable experience for the past 19 years!
After a lot of soul-searching, in 2018 the Committee made the very difficult decision to end the event.
We are grateful for the friends we have made and the memories we have created, and are most especially proud that for 19 years we worked with such an amazing group of committee members, volunteers and reenactors to help bring history alive!
UPDATE: A number of Civil War reenactments have been cancelled due to political problems, or even the possibility of potential political problems. That was not the case with the Stockton event. For the final few years Eloise Pierce (the widow of Dave Pierce) had a wonderful group of volunteers who helped on the weekend of the event, but she was unable to find anyone to take over the year-round job of the planning and organizing of the event. When she was ready to retire her role as the event organizer, there simply wasn't anyone available to step into her shoes, and the event ended.
