Welcome to the Marianna Day reenactments. This year our program is better organized and will be more fun. We are planning a living history program, a Confederate memorial program, a reenactment on the original battlefield of Marianna, and two reenactments on the Chipola River, at Citizen's Lodge Park. We also plan to have live period music, by the 97th Regimental String Band, at a Military Ball and before each battle. So register early and plan to visit us this September.
