We are a Southeastern Pennsylvania living history organization dedicated to honoring the men and women who lived through the American Civil War. For over 25 years, we have faithfully recreated the soldiers and civilians that experienced a pivotal moment in our country’s history.

The 71st prides itself on having a high standard of authenticity while being a family-friendly organization with a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Everything we do is focused on commemorating the people we represent and educating the public about who they were and the lives they led.
