The Mayhew Cabin helped sponsor the first large Civil War Reenactment in Nebraska City in 15 years. It was a two-day event filled with battles, programs, and displays. Several people attended the programs at the Mayhew Cabin museum and many people viewed the Civil War artifact collections of Moss Ellis and Bill Dean at the Wildwood Historic Center. At least 800 people attended the reenactment battles that were held in Wildwood Park over the weekend and several people visited with the reenactors and walked through the campsites. We would like to thank the City of Nebraska City, the Wirth Family Foundation, the Kropp Family Foundation, and OCVC for sponsoring the event.
