Civilians

Civilians wear clothing appropriate to their portrayal. All women civilians wear a sleeved outer garment (jacket, bedgown, or gown) and petticoats.

Camp

The First Virginia Regiment maintains several enlisted man tents for members to use. When able, the Regiment creates a brush arbor in place of a fly for the kitchen area. The Regiment attempts to present a camp that is as authentic as possible.
