Hunley will be on exhibit and a Civil War camp re-enactment will highlight the Town's Civil War heritage. |
 Come and gather at the Cedar Bluff Town Square where a myriad of artists and craftsmen will be exhibiting and selling their products. Local heritage is also highlighted by area residents making household staples such as apple butter over an open fire, lye soap, quilts and wooden items. Horse and carriage tours of the nationally listed historic district are conducted during the day and delicious foods are always abundant, including barbecue, baked goods, funnel cakes, hot dogs, popcorn, fried apple pies and much more.
