Many thanks to all who helped make our 2012 Heritage Day such a tremendous success! It was a perfect day for the wonderful crowds, the armies of reenactors who played out "The Battle of Unison" much as it would have been seen 150 years ago, and for the music and food celebration in the center of our village. Thank you, everyone! Photos of the battle can be viewed by visiting the website: www.oakhillstudio.org/civil-war-sesquicentennial/unison-2012.
