Membership Information

The First Virginia Regiment is now actively seeking individuals who share our interest in the history of the men and events of the American Revolution. Organized in 1975, the First Virginia is one of the most recognized and sought out recreated groups today and we regularly participate in battle reenactments, tactical demonstrations and living history presentations.

Anyone with an interest in the American Revolution and the time to devote to this avocation is welcome. Membership is open to all persons without regard to sex, color, creed, or national origin.

New members are expected to equip themselves and learn the drill and other information covered in the unit's Recruit Manual. Equipment and clothing is available from the Regiment as well as from commercial sources. New members may borrow clothing and gear so that they may participate before they finish obtaining their own. The First Virginia Regiment is a 501(c) 3 non-profit educational corporation and as such the cost of expendable gear can be itemized on your tax return (i.e. travel, clothing, shoes, period correct eyewear).

The unit publishes a quarterly journal, "The Dispatch", and monthly "Marching Orders " detailing appearances and other information. The Regiment also maintains a telephone hotline to communicate event updates. Please contact us -- we will be happy to answer any questions you have and help you get started in this fun, rewarding and educational hobby.
