We are a coalition of reenactors banded together for the cause
of sharing history with the public through civil war events, living
history and education days. Our units include Infantry, Artillery, Sutlers
and Civilians. We are always looking for fresh fish to join our
association.
We are based in New York State and currently cover the Eastern U.S.
Coast. Our main purpose is to bring new people into the hobby by
locating them with regional ERA units in their area.
We also offer a group liability insurance which is increasingly
required at events to protect ourselves against lawsuits caused by that
rare accident that may occur. This policy is fully backed by the
NRA. This is covered by modest
yearly dues, which is minimal, compared to amount of coverage you receive.
As we increase our membership numbers the yearly dues will actually
decrease as we try to make it fair for everybody.
