The "Old Brigade", of which the 3rd Vt Volunteers was a
member, was
considered one
of the very best of the Union Army. It had the unfortunate
distinction of having the highest number of men
killed in any Federal brigade. Known as the "Gray Horse Battery",
the 1st Vermont Battery served with distinction in the southern theater
of the War. One of the oldest Civil War living history
organizations,
the Vermont Civil War Hemlocks are
dedicated to proudly and accurately portraying the common Vermont
infantry
and artillery soldier during the War of the Rebellion, 1861 -
1865.
The Hemlocks are living historians, educators, preservationists and
re-enactors.
If you are looking for the ultimate Civil War living history
experience, the Hemlocks

Hemlocks
and Vermont's role in the Great Rebellion.
