       49th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, Co.  F
The 49th is one of the oldest and definitely the largest Union Infantry reenactment units in the Midwest area. In my opinion, THE best! Check 'em out.  If you want to learn your drill, these are the "go-to" guys.

I know They're Rebs, but what can I say, once you get to know 'em, you just can't help but call 'em friends. I'm proud to take the field with these guys any time! Cheer-em-on!

If you have any interest at all in the "BIG" guns, this is a good place to start. They have excellent safety rules for live-firing, good articles on history and preservation, shoots, etc.
