It's that time of year again when Prestonsburg transforms back to 1862 for the re-enactment of the Battle of Middle Creek. While most of the action takes place over the weekend, today, students around the region were welcomed to Middle Creek Battlefield and given the chance to actually see what they have been learning in class. Some of the kids don't get any other chance to come out other than what's the school. This is the sixth annual Battle of Middle Creek School Days. Students and teachers alike enjoy the experience. I can teach them out of books all day long, but unless they get a chance to experience it like this, like an event here at Middle Creek, this really helps it to come alive for them and make them appreciate their history more. We're learning how the war was back then and we're learning how the blacksmiths made stuff and how the people back then slept in tents and what all tools the blacksmiths used on making the stuff and how the doctors and stuff was back then. I've learned how to hold a gun and about like the preachers how they would come and encourage the people who got shot and help them out and hide some stuff about the old sewing machine. I've learned a lot of interesting facts. The re-enactment of the Battle of Middle Creek will take place Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. on the battlefield. In Prestonsburg, Shelby Still, EKB News.
