Welcome to the National Reenactment web site for the Battle of Aiken sponsored by the Barnard E. Bee Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp #1575.

  This large-scale reenactment attracted more than 15,000 spectators last year and we anticipate an even greater event next year as we reenact the battle in which Joe Wheeler and his men, greatly outnumbered and outgunned, sent Kilpatrick's bummers running for cover and even captured old "Killer's" hat.

The reenactment will take place near the site of the original battle at the Confederate Park just north of Aiken, South Carolina.
