Reenact the Civil War with authenticity and pride. We are civilian and military living historians dedicated to preserving our American heritage.
78th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Company F
The 78th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Co. F was formed in 1999 to honor our ancestors who volunteered from 1861-1865 to save the Union during the War of the Rebellion. The members of this organization seek to portray as authentically as possible, being always mindful of modern safety and health concerns, the lives and experiences of those whom we seek to honor. This includes a detailed attention to clothing, arms and accouterments, personal appearance, and mannerisms in order to portray an authentic nineteenth century lifestyle. We seek to encourage one another, to educate the public, and foster interest in this period of American history. To achieve these goals, the organization participates in a variety of activities including memorial services, parades, living history programs, school presentations, and local and national battle reenactments. The 78th PVI, Co. F is a proud member of Company B, 3rd Regiment, United States Volunteers and supporter of battlefield preservation.
