54th PA Reenactors Regimental Flag
Donation protected
We are the 54th Pennsylvania Infantry reenactors. We are a non-profit organization of living historians and volunteers. We are looking to raise money to be able to afford to obtain our new Regimental flag. While we can raise some of the funds ourselves the costs are far beyond our capabilities.
You may be wondering, why a flag? Well, flags are instrumental in teaching the public about the Civil War while providing an accurate account of what a United States Army regiment would possess during the war. They also are a symbol, not only of ourselves in the reenacting world, but of the men who served and some of whom gave all during that war in defense of the Union.
The cost we have remaining is approx $1200 for a new flag. While the price seem high, it is due to the fact that the flag is very large and made of silk as well as all details have to be hand painted onto the flag.
Once we have our flag we plan on having a ceremony at an event to be determined. We would like to extend an invitation to anyone contributing who wishes to attend. Details will be available in the future upon request. The flag is anticipated to be completed by spring.
Hopefully this gave you some insight into why we are looking to raise this money. We volunteer our time and efforts to bring the Civil War alive for the public and we know any donation you can give will help us continue to do so for future generations.
