Welcome to Company C of the 12th Virginia Infantry,
also known as the Petersburg New Grays
Please join us at our monthly meetings.
Where: Colonial Heights Public Library, on the
corner of Conduit Road & Yacht Basin Drive.
When: 7:00 pm on the fourth Wednesday each month.
Company C is based in the Tri-Cities. Our efforts
center on battle reenactments, living histories, historical presentations,
honor guard details and community activities in the Greater Petersburg
Area. We are the sister company of Company B, based in Varina. We
will fall-in with or alongside Company B at larger, joint events.
Our goal is to educate the general public about
the War Between the States and the terrible events that took place
around Petersburg. Therefore, we hope our members will take to the
books as well as the fields. Our monthly meetings will include historical
discussions and information on how to improve your impression.
Company C is a non-political, non-biased historical
research and educational corporation that does not discriminate
based on race, sex, national origin, religion, or age.
We accept applicants 12 years or older. Due to
insurance regulations, members must be at least 16 to take the field
under arms. Juvenile members must be under parental supervision
at all times. Female members can portray either civilian or military.
However, any woman who portrays a soldier must do her best to disguise
herself as a man.
All uniforms and equipment are the responsibility
of the member. Our policy allows one year to gather your necessary
items. All items must pass our authenticity standards. Some members
may have extra gear that you can borrow for a short time.
