Welcome to the home of the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry Reenactment Unit. We are a group of families and individuals who strive to relive the lives of the soldiers of the American Civil War. We portray the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry. Company A is our mounted. Company C is our dismounted.
We are part of the ACWS (American Civil War Society) here in Southern California. The 7th Ohio includes men, women, children, and families. Active members of the unit range in age from 12 to 65 years old. The organization includes soldiers either mounted or dismounted. The hobby of reenacting has a role for just about anyone. In general, reenactors are people with a special intrest in the Civil War, although there are no requirements on intrest or knowledge level. As reenactors the culmination of this intrest is an accurate representation to the public, your fellow reenactors and yourself as a Civil War soldier.
Wearing period style clothing and uniforms, carrying authentic reproductions of weapons and other equipment, and living in a camp style of the times, we enjoy the company of our friends as we seek and learn the history of that great conflict. We do not glorify war, nor dwell on the politics of that era. We acknowledge the sacrifices of thousands of brave souls, North and South, and hope to bring a greater understanding of those events to ourselves and to the visiting public who attend our reenactments.
