VENTURE CREW 1872 

Do you want to be a part of a group that reenacts the life and battles of the Civil War through WWII? Do you want to learn how a company works and moves on the battlefield? Then you will want to join Venturing Crew 1872 - the premiere youth living history unit.

The crew’s activities primarily include Civil War reenactments and Indian War demos complete with military and civilian camps, battles and Victorian dances. We attend and organize scheduled Living History programs at historic forts and other historic sites where crew members participate in various drills, fatigue duties and other demonstrations as well as provide interpretive history tours at Fort Richardson State Park. We are also renown for our infamous “Round Rolling Parties.”
