    • “ Perfect setting and weather for this exhibition of 1864 baseball, "Striker Up!" An event not to be missed by any baseball enthusiast. Players were both friendly and knowledgable. I also enjoyed the Civil War battle reenactment, street fair, and craft show. Look for more such events next season. ”
    • “ A fascinating and enjoyable look into baseball's early past! The nearby Civil War reenactment made it feel all the more period! ”
