Clash in the Catskills - Delhi Civil War Event This Weekend

Delaware County Historical Association

Saturday & Sunday, July 8 & 9, 2023

9am – 4pm.

Mark your calendars and plan on a visit to the Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA) over the weekend of July 8 and 9. Please join us then in celebrating the return of the 144th New York State Volunteers as they form together to recognize, remember and reenact three battles of the Civil War.

The 144th Regiment was the largest and best known regiment mustered in Delaware County during the Civil War, composed almost entirely of Delaware County residents. The regiment was formed during the summer of 1862 and was stationed at different locations throughout the war. The bloodiest battle in which it was involved was fought in South Carolina at the end of 1864 – Honey Hill.

Co-hosted by DCHA and the 144th New York Reenactment Group, the weekend events will include: three Civil War battlefield reenactments (two on Saturday, one on Sunday), living history demonstrations, military surgeon, kids’ activities, and much more. Participants will include re-enactors representing both Union and Confederate troops.

The event takes place at the Delaware County Historical Association on Saturday and Sunday, July 8 and July 9. Lunch available on both Saturday and Sunday.

Admission: Adults $10.00; Military (retired or active) $5.00; DCHA Members $5.00; Children 12 and under free. Lunch available on both Saturday and Sunday.
