Background Information:
Civil War Days is an educational reenactment event with a long history in Tehama County. In 2023, it was moved to Cone Grove Park for the first time, with approval from the Board of Supervisors, and repeated again in 2024. Due to the nature of the event, certain park regulations have been requested to be waived, as detailed in the agreement. Coordinators of the event have worked closely with County staff to ensure that all concerns can be addressed and mitigated for a successful reenactment to the benefit of the community. Due to the success of previous years and in order to ensure consistency for this community event, a ten-year agreement is being sought.
