I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Our unique, dynamic and growing group is an 18th Century living history organization recreating both sides of America's struggle for Independence. Members of our unit portray the foot soldiers, artillerymen, musicians and camp followers involved in the American Revolution with a high degree of accuracy at battle reenactments, historic demonstrations, filmings for television and motion picture studios, and more. Founded over 40 years ago, we are one of the oldest and most respected groups in this hobby.
Centered around historic Valley Forge, Pa., our members come from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New York and beyond. We are always looking for new recruits so if you are interested feel free to contact us. We can lend newcomers the equipment they need to get started. Why just watch the History Channel? Grab a musket, fire a cannon, or sound the fife or drum and stand in the smoke of battle in the authentic dress of an 18th Century soldier! CLICK HERE to contact us today for more information on how to enlist. Enjoy history in a really memorable way.
