Porter's Battery

Home      About us
     Porter’s Battery is a reenacting and living history organization dedicated to honoring and accurately portraying the life and times of Southern (Confederate) artillerists’ during the War Between the States.
 
     As members of Porter’s Battery our main focus is on artillery, and a variety of civilian impressions.
 
     Porter’s Battery is dedicated to furthering the public’s awareness and understanding of Southern History, War Between the States History, and Muzzle Loading Artillery.  This organization’s activities include participating in and sponsoring living history encampments, and reenactments of historical events.
 
      We are a family organization.  The events we attend normally include recreating battles and normal camp life.  Women and children play an important part in demonstrating what life was like during the War Between the States.  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 the mid-1800s, which you can then pass on to others.
 
 
 
We participate in the following types of events:
 
  • Battle Reenactments (We do both Confederate & Federal which is known as galvanizing.)
  • Living History
  • Parades
  • School Educational Programs
  • Assist with Paranormal Investigations
