  The Georgia Volunteer Battalion is the largest reenacting organization in the State of Georgia.  Our goal is to provide a battalion-sized homes for units that are dedicated to living, teaching, and experiencing the life of the average soldier during the War Between the States.  The GVB is formed from member units (companies) who have control over the election and direction of the Battalion Staff.

Whether you are a veteran reenactor in need of a new home, or someone for whom history holds a special place in your heart,   It is time to go from watching history on televison to living it in the field.  Don't read about the heat of battle and exhausting marches, experience it.
