HILLSBORO, W.Va. - The site of the last significant Civil War battle was fought at Droop Mountain on Nov. 6, 1863. The grounds are quiet in the 21st century. Signs and markers scattered about the park tell stories of a battle fought. Artifacts in a small museum reveal history of both sides of the war. And on Oct. 9 and 10, that silence will be shattered with a reenactment of the Battle of Droop Mountain. The 147th Anniversary reenactment will play out again by the West Virginia Reenactors Association. The event is open to the public.
