Where do I go to get the stuff I need to be a reenactor?
You can attend civil war reenactments and visit the sutlers. A sutler is like the reenactor’s Wal-Mart. A good one will have everything you need to get started. Or you can visit some places online. Our links page provides some excellent places to go. You can also find a lot of new and used stuff on eBay, if you know where to look. Searching under “Civil War uniforms” or “Civil War reproduction” or “Civil War reenactment” or “Confederate coat” etc. will bring up hundreds of interesting items. There are also several excellent eBay sutler stores. Milk Creek Mercantile is one such store.
