This is the homesite of the Western Pennsylvania Civil War Reenactors' Society. The group is also known as the 10th Pennsylvania Volunteer Reserve Corps, Company G. That's the military designation of an actual unit from the Civil War that we honor through our service to community.
The group is made up of Military and Civilian Reenactors and their families.
Hopefully you'll find more useful information about our group as you read through the pages of this website.
The photo to the right (I meant the other right) comes to us from one of our Kids' Militias that can often be experienced at one of our events.
Our group believes strongly in making the Civil War come to life for the youth. This is evident in the number of school talks that we do each year. In 2011 we provided programs at 10 area schools.

After posing with Drew on a beautiful Autumn afternoon atop Droop Mountain we were fortunate enough to enjoy Drew's company around our campfire that night.
Thanks Drew!

One of our favorite haunts locally is The Old Stone House, located in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
The Stone House is operated under the direction of Slippery Rock University. From time you time you will see the 10th PVRC occupy the grounds, in and around The Old Stone House.
You can see the 10th PVRC in a documentary on "The Stone House" produced by Brett McGinnis, of Digital Media Production.
