2nd
Connecticut Regiment,
The Second Connecticut Regiment is a unit member of the Living
History Association, the Connecticut Colony Military Association
(CCMA) and the Continental Line, Northern Department. We portray
a military hat company of the Second Connecticut Regiment.
We do cover the entire Revolutionary War (1775-1783), but
we especially portray the regiment as it was in the year 1779.
The drill manual we use is von Steuben (taught to the regiment
& the Continental Army in winter quarters at Valley Forge,
PA., Winter 1777-1778).
5th
Connecticut Regiment, In 1975, exactly 200 years after
its first formation, a group of Ridgefield men received a
charter from then Connecticut Governor Ellla Grasso to reform
the 5th Ct. as an honorary unit. On October 30, 2004, the
re-enactor unit celebrated its 30th anniversary as living
monuments of the patriots who fought for independence in George
Washington's army.
6th
Connecticut Regiment, Currently the Regiment has some
30 members, consisting of a Captain, soldier-at-arms, a Regimental
Surgeon, Surgeons mate, musicians, campfollowers and children.
We pride ourselves on being a family-friendly unit. The Regiment
became active in 1991 as an outgrowth of the Connecticut Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution. Starting as a Colour
Guard for that Organization, the 6th, while maintaining close
ties to the SAR, had become an Independent Unit by 1995. It
was felt, at that time, that there must other ways the 6th
could devote it's time and energy to the cause of educating
the publick about the American Revolution. The 6th Connecticut,
became in that year, a Living History Organization.
The
11th Regiment of Connecticut Militia--Established May
1995 to act as the Educational Outreach of the Branch, the
Color Guard portrays the 11th Regiment of Connecticut Militia
during the years 1775 through 1783. The Color Guard dresses
in the correct period attire of hunting frocks as specified
by General George Washington during the 1776 campaign. Membership
in the Color Guard is open to any member of the General Israel
Putnam Branch in good standing. We have appeared throughout
New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

(BAR) (CTL)--The 24th Connecticut Militia Regiment, Inc. is
a recreated organized militia, as well as a non-profit organization
composed of men and women who are deeply interested in preserving
and recreating the life and times of the common people of
the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania during the Revolutionary
War era. Emphasis has been placed on the soldiers and women
that served in the Army from the Wyoming Valley area of Connecticut.
The dress or uniform of our unit is primarily militarized
