Reenacting Cost?

Where do I Join?

Even though our organization maintains a Facebook page and a website (see QR code), you join us through a contact person. Also, you must attend company drills (i.e., musters) and visit the unit’s campsite at reenactments.

What is Reenacting?

Reenacting consists of camping, history, and experience. If you enjoy cooking on campfires and forming new friendships, then reenacting is for you. Live history and have fun!

Where do Reenactments Happen?

Reenacting military history is a global phenomenon. A reenactment typically occurs each weekend somewhere in the U.S. A local reenacting group will host an event in conjunction with a fair or a festival either on or near a historical site where an actual battle or a skirmish occurred. Thousands of reenactors will attend national events in which they reenact large battles, such as Bunker Hill, Massachusetts, Saratoga, New York, Manassas, Virginia, Shiloh, Tennessee, and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Our unit typically participates in local regional events as Pleasant Hill, Port Hudson, Camp Moore, D’Arbonne Landing, Jefferson, Texas.

Think History is Boring? Think again!

Reenacting may have been what you were daydreaming about while defining vocabulary words or key concepts at the end of each chapter of your school’s history textbook. You never know what may happen, where you may go, or who you may meet at a reenactment!

Why should I become a Reenactor?

Aside from living history and having fun, satisfaction, learning, and health are other positive outcomes of reenacting. You gain satisfaction by mastering the many tasks of soldiering (e.g., marching, manual of arms, etc.). You learn more about military units, historical battles, and weapons. Reenacting gets you out of your home and keeps you in better physical condition. Reenacting also improves your psychological health. So put away your cell phone and join today!
