The 12th Virginia Infantry ~ American Civil War Reenactors

Company D, The Lafayette Guards

"One image capturing two members of the 12th Virginia, the man standing with the Lafayette Guards, next to him is a Lieutenant of Co. E; wearing grey trousers and a grey shell jacket, trimmed with black or dark blue shoulder straps, a 7-button front, and a low collar, piped to match the straps. This may be a fatigue style uniform similar to the Richmond Greys' uniform. The seated man wears civilian clothing; a black suit, with a white pleated dress shirt and dark coloured cravat."

The 12th Virginia Infantry is looking for recruits who are interested in positively and publicly portraying and recreating the lives of the Virginia soldiers and civilians during the period of the American Civil War. We are looking for men and women of good character, who are in relatively good Health, of any age, and who love history.

We are a family orientated group that is dedicated to providing a high degree of authenticity in our appearance, social activities, conduct, actions, skills and military impression. We also teach by word and example in schools, at state and national historic sites and elsewhere. The group also participates in battle re-enactments and living history events.

A part of the 12th Virginia is our civilian group dedicated to performing Victorian dance and portraying civilians of the time and period in supporting roles such as cooks, laundresses, nurses, factory workers and spies.

While the group is based in the Richmond-Petersburg, Virginia area, we have members from all over and welcome any who desire to join us. Our goal is to attract new members with like mind love of Civil War History and increase our number of members of different ages and walks of life.
