Galesburg Heritage Days
August 21, 2021 - August 22, 2021
In this our 26th year, we are excited to bring you one of the Midwest’s largest and most unique public free admission living history events to be held at historic Lake Storey Park in Galesburg Illinois.
Featuring both a Pre-1840 Early American Colonial/Frontier Rendezvous, and a thoroughly fielded Civil War Battle Encampment/ Reenactment, The 26th 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 Visual Story Tellers, Reenactors, Living Historians and almost 50 merchants and sutlers.
