How to Get Into Reenacting

    Becoming involved in reenacting is as simple as starting a conversation with a reenactor! No previous experience or prior knowledge of the Civil War is necessary. After completing the online application, you will be contacted by a member of the 21st to gather more information about your interests and to answer any questions you may have. At your first event, you will be instructed on the basics of reenacting. Soldiers will be demonstrated and take part in weapons and movement drill, civilians will be given opportunities to be involved in camp life, and musicians will learn the music and instruments as they are available. Unit dues are $25/person/year, which includes insurance. The dues also guarantee a subscription to the unit's monthly newsletter, the Goober Grabber. Payment of unit dues will be arranged after acceptance into the 21st Georgia.
