Founded in 1999, the Liberty Rifles is a group of living historians who strive to accurately portray the patriots of the War Between the States and excel in terms of authenticity and organization. We consistently seek opportunities to further the education of others and ourselves about the sacrifices of our forefathers. The Liberty Rifles was founded as a purely military organization to represent the common soldiers of BOTH sides of the war with equal accuracy and honor.
Authenticity is our perpetual journey and our endeavor is to always improve. It is our responsibility to assist and encourage others on their journey. It is hoped that the future generations who attend our events will leave with a new and correct vision of the sacrifices made on their behalf by our forefathers.
We were founded on the belief that to be a true historian we must approach history in a non-political manner. Our goal is to learn more about the brave patriots of the war, and we believe that the only way to do this is by emulating them to the best of our ability, in terms of both our equipment and our actions.
The Liberty Rifles currently draws members from New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. We also have individual members from as far away as California, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. All those members come together on the field to act as one well drilled, veteran military unit.
