Galesburg Heritage Days kick off at 9 a.m. today at Lake Storey Park in Galesburg!

Galesburg Heritage Days wants you to know that we are vigorously moving forward with our plans and arrangements for our huge August 2026 event. This is the 250th anniversary of the United States, so this is an exciting year for us!
We are one of the Midwest’s largest and most unique free public admission living history events to be held at historic Lake Storey Park in Galesburg Illinois. Lake Storey is on the far north side of town, with 430 acres of wooded and rolling lands, all camps are on the shores of a 130 acre lake. Lake Storey Park is an absolutely beautiful location.
Featuring both a Pre-1840 Early American Colonial/Frontier Rendezvous, and a thoroughly fielded Civil War Battle Encampment/ Reenactment, The 31st Galesburg Heritage Days is held at two separate but close venues at Lake Storey Park, all on the same weekend.
Come share in the excitement with almost 1,000 fellow reenactors-living historians and almost 50 merchants and sutlers. Make plans to join us at our 2026 31st Galesburg Heritage Days, a free public admission family friendly event.
