The Atascosa County Historical Commission will present a reenactment of how the County’s history was affected by the Civil War, Indian raids increased when U.S. troops were pulled off the western frontier forts—the county being part of the frontier in the 1860s. An Indian attack on one of the early County Commissioners will be reenacted. There was a company of Volunteer Texas Cavalry mustered in at the early picket-walled dirt-floored courthouse in March of 1862.

We are still looking for several horse riders to be in the reenactment. We also need two or three men to play the part of arrow-shooting Indians. If interested, please call Norman Porter at 830-569-2680 or Barbara Westbrook at 830-769-4333.

The reenactment is to take place at the Pleasanton River Park, Pavilion Number Three, located between Adams and Hunt Street on Saturday, March 24 beginning at 10:00 a.m
