PRINCETON — History will come alive this weekend at the 15th annual Shadows of the Blue and Gray event, complete with Civil War re-enactment battles, period artisans and musicians, and a visit from President Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary.

As in previous years, the Oct. 13-14 event will take place at City-County Park on Route 26, just north of Princeton.

Serving as co-chairmen for this year’s event are Jeff Freeman and Randy Woodbury. Both men said they first started going to the Shadows of the Blue and Gray as spectators, enjoyed what they saw, and became involved several years ago in the planning committee. Being involved with the Shadows of the Blue and Gray has been a great experience, the men agreed.
