24th Virginia Infantry Regiment Men (and women and children) Of Today Portraying Warriors (and their families) Of Yesterday The 24th Virginia Infantry Regiment is an organization of men, women and children that have chosen as a hobby the recreation of life in mid-19th-century America, notably the period during the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865. Formed in Carroll County in Southwest Virginia, the group decided to honor the memory of an actual Regiment that fought in the war by taking on the identity of Company "C" of the 24th Virginia Infantry Regiment, which was part of General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. As an alternate impression, when needed to participate as a unit from the Federal Army, the members portray a Company in the 83rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. This year marks the 21st year of re-enactments and living history events for the group. Many of the original members were active in the Regiment's parent organization, The Carroll-Wythe-Grayson Civil War Round Table. In the spring of 1987, when they felt more of a desire to recreate history rather than just sit around and discuss the war and battlefield preservation, they put together an infantry unit and the group has been active ever since. The first battle for the new re-enactment unit was the 125th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee.
