The 125th NYVI is "a group of 'living historians,' re-enactors that portray Company "C" of the original 125th NY. We pride ourselves on historical accuracy and we have a great time doing it. The Association is comprised of about 55 members and we are growing. We attend events such as, parades, living history encampments, large scale battles, movie documentaries, small and large scale school programs, and last but by no means least; preservation events."  Special thanks to them for their willingness to welcome the author onto the company street and into their worlds.

Mission: The N-SSA promotes the competitive shooting of Civil War firearms and artillery and encourages the preservation of battlefields, artifacts and education of the period.

Organized by the Gettysburg Anniversary Committee (GAC), this is the 150th Gettysburg reenactment event the author attended.
