To All Civil
War Reenactors and Living Historians:
Please accept this invitation to attend this year’s Civil War Garrison Weekend at historic Old Fort Niagara. We have made many changes in an effort to include more Civil War reenactors and historians. Each branch of service including Infantry, Artillery, dismounted Cavalry, Musicians, Medical Corps, Veteran Reserve Corps, Period Civilians and Period Sutlers from both Federal and Confederate sides are welcome at this year’s event scheduled for April 30, May 1 & 2, 2010.
This event
is still sponsored by Reynolds Battery L, under the command of Richard
Henderson and will continue to provide an opportunity for artillerists to train
under the National Civil War Artillery Association qualification process. However, we hope to also provide a venue
where we all can benefit from the special talents and experiences that our
local units have. As with any garrison,
there will be plenty of opportunities to drill your individual units and
perfect your interpretations. We hope,
though, that together we can help train each other in aspects that are
difficult to train at other events.
Whether it is drilling with other branches of service; holding battalion
level drills for maneuver or parade drill; or even working with a cross-section
of different branches to help make us all safer, more accurate in our
presentations, and enjoy each other’s skills.
With that in mind, we are proud to announce this year’s “School of the
Skirmisher,” hosted by the 49th NYVI, Co. B, and “School of the
Musician,” hosted by the Excelsior Fife and Drum Brigade.
We have
lowered the registration fee from $10.00 to $ 7.00 in the hope that more
reenactors, living historians and sutlers will participate. We hope that you will join us at this new
garrisoning at the beginning of our 2010 season.
