ANNIVERSARY CIVIL WAR SIEGE OF PORT HUDSON
 
     Port Hudson State Historic Site will host its annual re-enactment of the siege of Port Hudson Saturday and Sunday, March 28 - 29, 2026. This year marks the 163rd anniversary of the siege and battle. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, volunteer re-enactors in Union and Confederate uniforms will stage activities typical of the summer of 1863. Three branches of service - artillery, cavalry and infantry - will be portrayed, as well as cooks, laundresses, and sutlers who accompanied the armies. The main re-enactment battles will take place at 2:00 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 p.m. Sunday. 
	The longest siege on American soil claimed the lives of thousands of men 163 years ago at Port Hudson. The siege was a significant victory in the Union's strategy to control the Mississippi and Red Rivers, cutting off Confederate forces from much-needed supplies. Port Hudson State Historic Site annually pays tribute to the soldiers on both sides of the war with battle re-enactments and Civil War-era demonstrations. 
	In addition to the battle re-enactments, visitors can enjoy living history demonstrations, a Civil War-era dance class, artillery &amp; musket demonstrations and reproduction Civil War merchandise for sale (see following Schedule of Events). A picnic area is located near the main battlefield, where concessions and cold drinks will be sold by the Zachary High School JROTC. 
     Admission to the site and the event is $6/adult, free for children (6 and under) and $4/senior (62 and older). Port Hudson State Historic Site is located on U.S. Hwy 61 near Zachary, about 20 minutes north of Baton Rouge. For more information, call 888.677.3400 toll free or 225.654.3775 locally.
