141st Cedar Creek Reenactment

October 15-16, 2005 at Middletown , VA  

As a part of the 3rd Regiment, USV, members of the 78th PVI, Co. F helped represent the 15th New Jersey at this year’s Cedar Creek reenactment.  Since the 15th was issued Mann’s accoutrements, representing that regiment was quite a unique experience.  The reenactment was well attended by re-enactors and spectators, and had nice weather throughout the weekend.
