About the 124th New York

    The 124th New York State Volunteers is a Civil War era reenactment unit based in southern New York.   We are a not-for-profit corporation recognized by the State of New York as an Historic Military Command, the only New York Living History Organization so designated. The unit was started in 1982 in Orange County, NY, where the old regiment was raised.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Ranks of 124th NYSV

    The 124th New York's membership hails mostly from Orange County, NY, just as the original regiment did, though our roots stretch from Connecticut and New Jersey to Virginia and North Carolina.   Recruits, either fresh fish or seasoned veterans, are always welcome.  Prospective members must be at least 17 years old and in good physical condition.  Each recruit must be sponsored by an existing member and must be voted in on a one year probationary period by the membership. After the successful completion of the probationary period, the membership again votes to accept the new recruit.  Spouses and children are welcomed in this group; the ladies may choose to participate in The Daughters of Orange which portrays a patriotic organization of the time. Dues are $48/year.

 

 

 

124th New York's Impression

    The 124th New York seeks to portray the Union Infantry Volunteer of the Army of the Potomac as he appeared at the mid-war.   Our membership follows a strict list of authenticity standards and are constantly improving our impressions.  New recruits must enter the ranks as a private, as experience is gained one may move up the rank structure.  The 124th New York is open and willing to accommodate most military and civilian impressions.
