After a great turnout and successful memorial service at Camp Beauregard, it’s time to continue supporting those who keep history alive.

Our fellow compatriots will be hosting a Civil War Living History event – Battle for the Ferry this weekend in Aurora, Kentucky at Kenlake State Park.
If you’ve never been to a living history event, this is a great opportunity to:

Step back into the 1860s
See Civil War camps and artillery demonstrations
Experience history up close
And even take part in a historical ghost walk Saturday evening

These events play an important role in preserving and sharing history with the next generation.

👉 May 1–2, 2026
👉 Kenlake State Park & Resort – Aurora, KY
👉 Free Admission

If you’re able, come out and support those who continue to educate and keep history alive.

Just south of Mayfield, Kentucky, stood a place few people talk about today—Camp Beauregard.
Established in late 1861 as a defensive and training camp, thousands of Confederate soldiers passed through its grounds. But the enemy they faced there wasn’t across a battlefield.
It was the winter.
Cold, wet conditions, overcrowded camps, and poor sanitation led to outbreaks of disease that spread rapidly through the ranks. Typhoid fever, pneumonia, and meningitis claimed lives at an alarming rate.
One surgeon described it simply:
“It was worse than a battle.”
Though no major battle was fought there, it’s estimated that between 1,000 and 1,500 soldiers died at Camp Beauregard—many buried in the area or sent home to their families.
Today, a monument stands as a reminder of what those men endured—not in combat, but in the harsh realities of camp life during one of the coldest winters of the war.
History isn’t always found on the battlefield. Sometimes, it’s found in the places where men simply tried to survive.

"Melania," the documentary detailing the 20 days in the first lady’s life before President Trump took office for the second time last year, is set to beat expectations, earning $8 million at the box office in its opening weekend, the best documentary opening in more than a decade, according to reports.

The documentary will likely finish third behind horror films "Iron Lung" and Rachel McAdams’ "Send Help," but beat out action star Jason Statham’s "Shelter," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
