Porter’s Battery is a reenacting and living history organization that portrays both military and civilian life during the historic period known as "The Civil War" or "The War Between the States". We do portray both sides from time to time which is known within reenacting circles as "galvanizing. We also have members, women and children primarily, who portray civilians at that time. We are all history buffs and enjoy stepping back in time even for a brief moment to experience to a small degree what our ancestors endured during those dark days in our nations history. Our focus is on that historic period between the years 1860 and 1865. We do not converse nor discuss modern issues, political or otherwise, and we do not compare issues of that time period with those of today. We are a family based organization. There’s something for everyone to do and we encourage each member to try more than one impression. It helps you to learn about the history of that time, which you can then pass on to others.
We participate in the following types of events:
-
Battle Reenactments.
-
Living History Events.
-
Parades.
- School Educational Programs.
- We have assisted with Paranormal Investigations.
- Some of our members are also members of The National Civil War Artillery Association.
