Cleburne’s Division of Reenactors, Inc is an Internal Revenue Service recognized 501(c) 3 organization incorporated in the State of Alabama for the purpose of educating the general public about the Civil War through reenactments. Cleburne’s Division was begun in order to bind together “like minded” reenactors who were tired of the politics of the national and regional organizations that were in existence. The membership of Cleburne’s Division coexists and promotes Civil War reenactments across the country with recent successful appearances at the 145th Anniversary Gettysburg and 145th Chickamauga. Cleburne's Division has also assumed Confederate Command of successful recent National Events across the country including Twin Rivers 2010, Wilson's Creek 2011, and Shiloh 2012, and Vicksburg/Raymond 2012.
In the process now of putting on the 150th Gettysburg and 150th Chickamauga.
Plans are being made for our 10 year objectives.
Cleburne’s believes that all facets of reenacting should be welcome at ALL events. Each camp should be provided at every event to include but not be limited to the following:
Military Camps
Family Garrison (Mixed Camps)
Campaign
Progressive Campaigners
Modern camps
By offering each of the respective camps to each segment of reenacting we believe that we can build reenacting back near the levels it was in the recent past. By making concessions for each camp area we may be able to stem the rift that is occurring in reenacting today.
We believe that there should be a brotherhood with a “we” mentality, not a dictatorship with a “me” mentality as has been seen in the past. The most important people in Cleburne’s Division are the privates who fill the infantry, artillery and cavalry ranks. It is the responsibility of the officers of Cleburne’s Division to provide a quality event weekend for the privates and their families. We believe reenacting should be family oriented. Without the support of our families and the hopes that our young ones will one day reenact with us there is no future for reenacting! We believe that every participant, whether accompanied by their family in a period or modern camp or falling in with their pards with a knapsack and a musket, should be welcome at every event.
