Some of our members enjoy researching, collecting and re-enacting other eras, in addition to the American Civil War. An occasional item about those activities will appear here.

Jon Liebrandt and John Hughes arrived at the Community Center
in Scotts Michigan. They met with Lt. John Clark of Battery D to participate in the
Blue & Gold ceremony for Cub Scout Pack 265.
In addition to celebrating the 101st anniversary of the founding of the Boy
Scout organization, the three Civil War reenactors acted as escorts for three
Webelos graduating into Boy Scouts. A very nice pot luck dinner was provided and several awards were
presented to a number of Cub Scouts and their leaders. It was an honor to be a part of this ceremony.
