July 12-14, 2019 - Dinsmore Homestead - Burlington, Kentucky - We resuurected this event last season and those that went had a great time. We will enjoy camp life, drill and maybe even some marching in the surrounding woods. In 1839, James & Martha Dinsmore purchased approximately 700 acres in Boone County, Kentucky. He and his family, which included daughters, Isabella Dinsmore, Julia Dinsmore, and Susan Dinsmore, settled there, and raised sheep and grew grapes and willows for a basket-making business overseen by German immigrants.

September 27-29, 2019 - Caesars Creek - Waynesville, Ohio - We returned to this village last year after many years of being away. We had a small contingent , but we had a very nice time. A new event coordinator has taken over the program and she is a very reenactor friendly. This will be our last opportunity to field a good sized company this year and we really hope as many of you as possible will make it out. It's not a far drive for most of our members. Web Site

Get a taste of civilian life with period games, music, dancing and much more. The village is a wonderful place to get the feel of 19th century life. We hve been here a number of times over the years and it always proves to be a lot of fun. Its central location should help more of our company out. Web Site

October 26, 2019 - Linden Grove Cemetery - Covington, Kentucky - We have helped out this cemetery in the past with their Halloween program which is a really neat experience.
