Major Reenactment Organizations

The Continental Line Web Site
The Continental Line, Inc., established in 1987 is a nonprofit educational organization of recreated Revolutionary War reenactment units representing the Continental Army, the various colonial militias, the Continental Navy, the Continental Marines, and units in the service of the French King. Member units, including the First Virginia are located from South Carolina to New Hampshire.

The British Brigade Web Site
The British Brigade, Inc is the counterpart to the Continental Line and consists of British, Hessian, and American Loyalist units collectively known as the Crown Forces. The Brigade often attends events along with the Continental Line.

Individual Units

Isle of Wight Militia
The purpose of the Isle of Wight County Militia is primarily to educate the public about the actions and events involving the men of Isle Wight and its surrounding counties during the American War of Independence in the lower counties of Virginia. We also recreate Arthur Smith's 9th company of the 4th Virginia regiment of the Continental line, which was recruited primarily from the town of Smithfield, Virginia
