• School Day: Local students explore the encampment, learning about period military life, 1860s children's games, and civilian roles in camp.

• Living History Encampments: Set up at Miner’s Park (106 Carson St.), offering the public free access to view tents, a field kitchen, medical practices, and speak with reenactors.

• Battle Trains: The Virginia & Truckee Railroad operates battle trains where passengers watch Union and Confederate soldiers stage combat scenarios directly from their seats.

• Parades & Street Skirmishes: Reenactments spill into the heart of town along C Street, culminating in the city's annual Labor Day Parade.
