Occupation of Sandersville
Occupation of Sandersville is a historical Civil War reenactment marking the anniversary of the Occupation of Sandersville. It is the mission of these dedicated Civil War Living Historians to educate the public on the battles and the common soldiers of the American Civil War by providing a journey back though time to 1864.

The organizers design the event to be both reenactor and spectator friendly with many opportunities to participate with something to please everyone. The unique art collection at the Brown House is an excellent way to learn more of the personal and community histories of the Civil War in Washington County. The narrated Bus Tour allows one to actually stand on the ground of important historical sites. The Blue-Gray Masquerade Ball is open to the public, which is a rare occurrence for most reenactments. The Christian Worship Service provides all with the opportunity to share a church service with others from near and far.
Visitors are also invited to explore some of the local attractions and shopping opportunities.
