Kentucky Volunteers

The Kentucky Volunteers is a non-profit living history organization whose mission is to support the re-enacting and living history communities by forming an organized group of good, authentic, same minded people to better enhance and promote the period of the Civil War in Kentucky and surrounding territories all the while promoting Kentucky’s importance and role during one of the nation’s most troubled times.

The mission of the Kentucky Volunteers will be accomplished by:

• Supporting re-enactments and living history events in Kentucky
• Organizing federal, confederate, and civilian units
• Collaborating with Camp Nelson
• Authentically portraying life during the “War between the states”, commonly called the American Civil War

We are not strictly a military organization or favor one side over another.  We want to see reenacting thrive in Kentucky.  We want to offer event hosts in Kentucky an organized reenactor contingent with reasonable standards for authenticity, strong safety regulations, and other services that will make their events more successful.
