I want to start desperately...

[Colonel Howe]

Hello all, I am really interested in the concept of reenacting and I'd like to start but its been hard to find a group. I live in the Northeastern United States (CT) and I've been having a helluva lotta trouble. I'm not era-biased. If anyone knows of good sources to find groups or of groups in my area (fat chance) specifically, I'd appreciate all the help I can get.
All the Best,
Howe

North-east? Isn't that like stacked with groups?

Somehow i haven't been able to find anything. I tried Civil war groups and my emails were eventually ignored because I was asking too many questions. In all honesty, I feel that's appropriate since i'm making a time and financial-based decision.

They stopped replying because you asked too many questions?

That's new.

Recruitment form doesn't work for me for some reason. Out of curiousity, are you in this regiment? :3

Naw im based all the way out in Illinois, however I love helping folks out to get into hobby.

This is a website for basically all reenacting unit come together to form battalion, brigade,  division events.

the first three units should be near you and that Division is pretty good, Scot Buffington has great repuation for authenticity. Basically try to make the best of the event experience. (he would be the Division commander) But anyway check out the first three units. In fact, check out all the units/division/arty/cav tabs they offer, maybe you'll find one there.
