On a makeshift battlefield off U.S. 129 in Gray, re-enactors fight two Civil War battles fought in Middle Georgia. One was the Battle of Sunshine Church, which took place north of Clinton in Round Oak in 1864. About 300 re-enactors relive that Confederate victory battle Saturday.

Sunday the re-enactors will portray the Battle of Griswoldville, which took place in September of the same year, in which Union soldiers destroyed a pistol-making plant in Griswoldville that provided weapons to the Confederacy. The Union soliders were headed toward Macon when Confederate troops were called in to head them off.

The battle was declared a Union victory, wounding and killing 600 Confederate soldiers while about 56 Union soldiers were killed or wounded, historians said.

Come and see the encampments and learn what life was like during the Civil War.
