There are numerous commercial sources for a great deal of the equipment, but we highly recommend that new recruits consult with current members before they purchase any items. Current members are willing to assist the new recruit with the gathering of the necessary items. Unfortunately, it is not a cheap hobby. Purchasing used or second-hand uniforms and equipment can significantly reduce costs. The good news is that much of the initial investment can last a lifetime and is not charge all at one time.
Travel expenses are deferred to a great deal by car-pooling to events and staying in encampments.
The N.W.T.A. is made up of units representing all the nations that took part in the American War for Independence. In order to tell the entire story of the times, all sides must be represented. By depicting the British soldier as he was tough, capable, and courageous, we educate the public, debunking many inaccurate ideas about the British that have been handed down for generations. Being part of the Grenadier Company certainly does not mean that any of our members think our Founding Fathers were wrong to fight for our freedom. We believe that an accurate portrayal of the infamous Redcoat will bring increased respect for the hardships the Founding Fathers had to overcome to create this great nation.
