Please check our event schedule to see where we値l be throughout the year.

This hobby depends on large numbers of people from different organizations working together to make each event successful. This has helped us rapidly grow our membership as people find that this truly is a unit where the members take care of each other, and we take care of other units that we work with. Politeness, decency, respect and honesty guide our activities. Within this context we base our conduct while working with the public and other re-enactors. This was known for modesty, good manners, detailed clothing designs and strict social decorum. The 1860-1865 time period was part of the Victorian Age. We do not expect members to attend every event, but we do have 4-5 'maximum effort ' events during the course of the year where it will be very important for as many people to be there as possible. Many more events are available, depending on the ambition of the individual members. We participate in about 25 scheduled events a year, mostly in the upstate New York area centered around Rochester and mostly between the months of April and October. There is a role for everyone wishing to live in, and learn about this time period. Within this organization we have people portraying soldiers, nurses, housewives, suttlers, craftspeople, washerwomen and newspapermen. This group was founded in the spring of 2002 with about 8 members and currently has around 70 people of all ages, abilities and interests. We participate in a variety of activities throughout the year including battle events, living histories, seminars, lectures, parades and site dedications. We are a Civil War re-enactment unit dedicated to teaching the citizens of this country about the event which nearly destroyed this nation.
