About us

Our Organization

The RACW is comprised of over 100 individuals whose passion for history outweighs all else. Due to their continued service in our ranks, we have been presenting history in Northern California for over 34 years.

We are comprised of the Confederate, Federal, and Civilian Brigades, and we are proud to have nine individuals from this greatly talented group of reenactors to volunteer their time on our Board of Directors.
