Listed Below is some information you might find handy if you plan on geeting involved with Reenacting. Units strive to portray the life and actions of the CW Era soldier as accurately as possible. To start with, attend a reenactment or living history event as a spectator to see what we do, then make the move to join. When starting, it's best to find an individual within a unit that can answer your questions regarding uniforms, weapons, etc.
Most units provide a sponsor and training sessions for new recruits.
The cost of reenacting can be expensive. It is best to see exactly what you will need or, borrow equipment if available for your first couple of events to see if reenacting is really for you. Don't buy what you don't need and definitely don't pay an outlandish price. Most units recognize that this is a hobby and should never come before work or family obligations. This means you need another coat and hat for the Federal Impression.
