                Welcome to the 6th Indiana Co. A 

  Civil War Reenactors - located in South Central Indiana  

                                                member of the Indiana Brigade

 We want to make a good impression on the spectators, not hardcore.  We love what we do, and it shows.  We are always looking for new members to share in the fun of teaching a living History to our Communities. We are portraying the 6th Indiana in late summer 1864.

Our members come from all walks of Life, Professional, Self-employed, and the regular average working man.

If you think you would like reenacting, this is the group for you. We are growing fast, so don't be left behind. If you're interested in reenacting, we're interested in you. We teach the School of the Soldier, Manual of Arms, and marching techniques needed.  We also advise you how to get your uniform and equipment (from the cheapest to the best).

There are no dues required.

This is a family hobby and we encourage the family to join and be active. We do camp (for those who wish) at reenactments and Living Histories when allowed.

We participate in Living histories, parades, and battle reenactments.  We also have our own private camp on the Knobs in Floyd County, where you can learn without being watched by spectators.
