I haven't been to one in a couple of years, but I remember one I saw a few years back was pretty gruesome in terms of how real it felt, the crack of the muskets and the loud booms of the cannons.

I only wish I could visit Gettysburg sometime during one of their reenactments. That would be huge!

I did a little looking around, and look at the size of the reenactment!
