CIVIL WAR RE-ENACTMENT SOCIETY
Thank You for Your Interest in the
CONFEDERATE BRIGADE
The Confederate Brigade of the CWRS is made up of Four Units.
Each Unit having different histories, uniforms, missions and requirements; inquire of any or all of these Unit Leaders before you choose the Unit you'd like to join.
BRIGADE COMMANDER:
All equipment used by re-enactors is individually and personally owned and maintained. However, new recruits may be able to temporarily borrow some equipment, depending on the "stores" of a particular Unit. Check with the Unit Leader to determine your immediate needs.
DO NOT PURCHASE EQUIPMENT BEFORE YOU SPEAK TO THE UNIT LEADER
Uniforms, weapons, tents,and equipment can be expensive. Please check with the Unit Leader regarding authenticity before making any large purchases. What may be correct for one Unit, may not be correct for another. We strive for authenticity of the Civil War era.
Would you rather be a Civilian than a Combatant?
There's room for everyone in the CWRS! Families are Welcome in the Confederate Brigade. Ladies, children and civilian men also play important roles in our re-enactments. You will still need to choose a "Unit" to belong to, but you will be in "support" rather than on the battlefield.
Contact the Unit Leader of your choice before you complete the application. After an informed decision, PRINT the Membership Application (link below, right) - complete it by hand, include your check made out to Civil War Re-enactment Society (or CWRS) and mail it to:
