Civil War Battle Reenactment in Islip, NY

It’s North versus South all over again as the Civil War comes to life in Sayville.

 

 

 

By Video Journalist Alyssa Koncelik

The Town of Islip commemorates the contributions of local residents made during an important period in American history with its first Civil War reenactment on the Islip Grange.  

Current residents visiting the site are free to ask reenactment volunteers questions about the war and what it was like during that time, while all volunteers keep true to character.
