Welcome

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit group of volunteers dedicated to commemorating the American Civil War through accurate, educational living history.  The 2nd NJ Brigade is a full reenactment unit offering a family friendly environment for history-buffs, Civil War buffs, and living history enthusiasts who want to make friends, enjoy family time, and learn more about the Civil War while educating the public. 


We’re Recruiting!
