The Gettysburg Reenactment Committee reports tens of thousands of visitors in attendance over the annual July Heritage Weekend event. We have had the opportunity to be a part of the living history village since 2005.
We have the privilege to speak to visitors from California, Florida, Indiana, New York, Ohio and even Germany that stopped by to learn about the USCC.
Many of these people were surprised to know that such an organization existed during the Civil War, as the USCC has virtually been erased from the history books!
If you visited our living history village, please contact us to let us know what you thought about the display and to get connected to our efforts.
Be sure to check our events page to see the dates/times of our future reenactment appearances.
"We have been interested in the Civil War for many years and have visited Gettysburg many times. Through all this time, however, we never were fully aware of the US Christian Commission. We knew of the Southern revivals, individuals of faith, and a few books on such, but the Christian Commission was hidden from our view. Thank you for your efforts to unveil it for folks like us and many others"
