If you are planning on attending a re-enactment for the 150th, I suggest you do a google search for that battle's 150th; e.g. Shiloh 150 to find out as much as you can about the re-enactment and whether you need tickets or not.

This is crucially important, and hence why I'm stickying this, for I tried to go to the Balls Bluff 150th, only to be told that you needed tickets to get in, and the last tickets sold out the night before.

Upcoming:

Shiloh -- March 29, 2012 to April 1, 2012 (actual battle anniversary is on 6-7 April)
Antietam and South Mountain -- September 8 to 9, 2012
Battle of Hampton Roads (USS Monitor - CSS Virginia) - March 9 through 11, 2012

EDIT:
You may also use this thread to discuss random items found in the news related to the 150th.

Hope this is relevant: the NYT has a series called Disunion that publishes articles about Civil War events, roughly corresponding to the 150th anniversary of whenever they happened. They're coming out frequently: one every few days. I'm not a historian and can't speak to the scholarship, but the articles are written for interested laypeople and some are quite good. You can find them here.
