Baker Plantation House - Burning of Danville Reenactment
On October 14, 1864, a moonlit night
so clear and bright you could have read
a newspaper, "Bloody" Bill Anderson was
on his way to Danville with 50-60 of his
guerrillas. With muffled horses’ hooves,
they rode right into Danville square, shot
down citizens, and started to loot and
burn the town.
An annual reenactment of the burning
of Danville is held in October.

Danville & the events surrounding the
