Welcome to the home
of the 1st Virginia Cavalry Reenactment Units. We are a group
of families and individuals who strive to relive the lives of the
soldiers and civilians of the American Civil War. We portray
the 1st Virginia Cavalry, both mounted on horseback and dismounted
on foot, and their wives, sweethearts, and even children who
struggled through that historic time.
Wearing period style
clothing and uniforms, carrying authentic reproductions of weapons
and other equipment, and living in a camp style of the times, we
enjoy the company of our friends as we seek and learn the history
of that great conflict.
We do not glorify
war, nor dwell on the politics of that era. We acknowledge
the sacrifices of thousands of brave souls, north and south, and hope to bring a
greater understanding of those events to ourselves and to the
visiting public who attend our reenactments. |
