and

The 6th Massachusetts Light Artillery


Thank you for visiting The Washington Artillery - 5th Company / 6th Massachusetts Light Artillery Home Page.

Our re-enacting organization portrays both a Confederate and a Federal artillery company, and among its members has available to it a total of 8 cannons, 5 of which are original tubes.  We also have a sizable civilian contingent affiliated with our Company made up of women, children, and men, giving our Company a total of more than 100 members.

Words and pictures will tell you only a small part of who we are, what we do at re-enactments, and why we re-enact.  Still, they're all we have that we can share with you in this medium to help you see re-enacting as we see it - from the inside.

It's our hope that you'll find articles of interest on our site, whether you are a re-enactor, a prospective re-enactor, or just someone who wonders what all the fuss over re-enacting is about.  Whichever category fits you - or even if you fit into no category at all - we hope that you'll learn something new about the War Between the States or re-enacting that you didn't know before.  We hope you'll see some of what attracts us to re-enacting, and perhaps will even find yourself tempted to try it on for size.

If you have any questions or comments for us, please e-mail them to us.  We will respond as fast as we can.

We appreciate your taking the time to visit our Home Page.   Browse each major section, for each major section has many other sections within it.   And come back and visit with us as often as you like.
