The 9th Virginia, Company C is a part of the 10th Battalion,

Army of Northern Virginia. Our company strives for a balance

between being as authentic as possible in our dress, demeanor,

equipment and activities and being a family-oriented organization.

The families of men-at-arms are invited to participate, and

individual civilian impressions of the Civil War period are also

encouraged. In our camp, we make certain concessions for the

inclusion of women and children. Participation is strictly optional

for any activity or event. We treat new members like family,

with guidance and friendship. New members receive the 9th’s

“New Recruit Guide”, which details uniform and accouterments

requirements as well as language of the 19th century and other

information helpful to the new reenactor.  All members and recruits

are kept informed of unit activities through our private & public website.

The 9th Virginia is a growing Company. We are comprised of professionals,

working class individuals and the self-employed.  The members of the recreated

9th are mainly from Long Island and southern New York. We attend events

principally in this area, but also venture to Pennsylvania, Virginia, Rhode Island,

and beyond.
