What is a Re-enactment?

A re-enactment, such as those organized by the Southern Re-enactors Association, is a fascinating way to bring history to life by recreating historical events and periods. Participants often dress in period-appropriate attire and engage in various activities to portray life from different eras, including those of the 1st Division.

About The 1st Division of Southern Re-enactors Association

Mission Statement

The 1st Division is an authentically minded nonprofit re-enacting organization dedicated to accurately portraying the typical soldier and military organization during the period known as the War between the States from 1861-1865. As part of the Southern Re-enactors Association, we participate in battle re-enactments, parades, ceremonies, and living histories. 


Members come from many different states throughout the US and bring with them an enthusiasm about the hobby as well as a desire to teach others about this critically important period in our history. No matter where you live, there is probably a member of the 1st Division close by. There is a place for you in the 1st Division. 


The 1st Division is comprised of the following branches: Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, Teamsters, Civilian, and Medical corps.
