The Washington Civil War Association recently approved its schedule of major events for 2015, and for the first time, Snoqualmie will host the re-enactment of a Civil War battle.

The Battle of Snoqualmie, www.battleofsnoqualmie.com, will take place Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 29 and 30, at Meadowbrook Farm in Snoqualmie.

Re-enactors wearing costumes and carrying weapons of the 1860s will stage battles at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. both days, and bring history to life with portrayals of Civil War encampments, the sutlers who followed armies, hospital demonstrations, historic displays and music.

The living history demonstrations run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.  Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for members of the military, $5 for children age 10 or older, and free for younger children.
