Come experience the same hospitality today as those soldiers did over 150 years ago. Visit inside 2 homes and our 2 historic churches as you enjoy the following presentations of early 1860′s Mooresville.

- A story narrated by Jerry R. Barksdale about events that happened in Mooresville during the Civil War, including an episode involving the Union soldier from Wilder’s Brigade who was caught prowling around the Woodruff house and the subsequent order from Lt. Col. Biggs that this house is protected from search for arms. You will be invited into the house to see this original hand-written document.

- A Reenactment in the Church of Christ of President Garfield’s time when he was a General encamped at Bibb’s Spring with the 20th Brigade of the Army of Ohio as he wrote letters back to his wife and friends.
