Honor, History, Heritage

The 34th North Carolina, Company H reenactors were formed in 2004 under the command of Sergeant Bill Allocco and Corporal Steve Legawiec, both with over 15 years experience in the field.

The unit is out of Rochester, New York, with members in the surrounding area. We are active members of the 3rd Battalion of the Army of Northern Virginia. We strive to portray the men of the 34th and the whole Confederate Army with accuracy and, above all, honor.

The 34th participates in many Reenactment events throughout the year, so we encourage you to come see us in action! For information on becoming a member of the 'Rough and Readys’, please see the Getting Started as a Civil War Reenactor section and Frequently Asked Questions.
