Blakeley's annual Veteran's Day Weekend program offers a special opportunity to reflect on this area's Civil War heritage. 

We offer Civil War artillery demonstrations at 8:30 and 10:30 AM. At 9:00 AM we offer one of our popular "Civil War on the Eastern Shore" narrated cruises, which explores the major battles of the Mobile Campaign from the rivers along which its major actions took place. (Cruise tickets are $27 for adults and $17 for kids ages 6-12) At 11:30 noted author Christopher McIlwain, Sr. speaks on his research into the Alabama connection to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865. 

The program is supported in part by the generous support of the Pensacola Civil War Roundtable and the Mobile Area Civil War Roundtable.
