to the preservation and performance of traditional American music from
the 19th Century.

as a small group gathered around a campfire during a Civil War Reenactment
with the 25th Massachusetts Regiment. From these beginnings, members have
expanded into areas of performing on historical reproduction instruments,
some period instruments and historical research. The group portrays civilian or military costumes in an attempt to recreate what might have been seen in the early to mid
19th Century.
