Don’t forget your lawn chair and umbrella for shade! This free public event is enjoying its 8th season and Historic Ramsey House, 2416 Thorn Grove Pike, is proud to be a part of this historic reenactment. Teams play by 1864 rules, wear period uniforms and local teams bear the names of actual teams that played in Knoxville during that time.

The 15% of the proceeds from the food truck sales help Historic Ramsey House to continue to bring this great educational event to the community. Historic Ramsey House encourages you to support these local food vendors throughout the season. Please bring a lawn chair and an umbrella for shade and leave the coolers at home.
