Get Involved
Military
As a reenactment group, it is our job to accurately represent a Civil War Regiment. This is done through the use of period-correct tactics and drills. The unit will take the time to train you and supply you with loaner gear to the best of its ability when you start. You must be 16 or older to carry a rifle.
Civilian
Unable to participate as a soldier? Not a problem, civilians are always welcome at reenactments and are necessary for accurate living histories.
Children
While you do have to be 16 or older to carry a rifle, anyone younger can still be a part of the unit. There are a number of ways for children to get involved, whether through being a civilian, guidon, or musician, among others. We do ask for a parent to join for liability reasons.
Musician
The 4th New Jersey is always looking for individuals to play fife, drums, bugle, or other Civil War instruments.
Field Hospital
There are many Field Hospitals in the realm of Civil War reenacting, but the one set up by our surgeon, Marjy Wienkop, is one of the finest. With original equipment and accurate demonstrations, the hospital is always looking for new members. To learn more about the hospital, click the link below.
