Canon fire boomed through the air last weekend, at the Florida Agricultural Museum, in Palm Coast, as Union and Confederate soldier-actors re-enacted the Pellicer Creek Raid. The event was hosted by Ormond Beach resident Bruce Piatek, who directs the museum.

Piatek said that Civil War re-enactments like this one invite guests to experience the war up close and personal.
