Proudly created with Wix.comTHE 5TH CONNECTICUT REGIMENT CONTINENTAL LINE, INCWhere History Comes aliveAt The 5th Connecticut Regiment we are a Non-Profit organization that Portrays Continental line Soldiers of the Revolutionary War between the years of 1777 and 1780. We travel all over New England and beyond doing special events at historic and other locations for the cause of teaching and reminding the public of the great sacrifices our founding fathers and countrymen and women made to give us this great country we live in today.Contact LIGHT INFANTRY, BRITISH MARINES, MILITIA, CAMP FOLLOWERS AND CIVILIANSThe 5th CT Regiment has been around since the 1970s's as a reenacting unit. During that time we have developed several alternate impressions to choose from after new members become proficient with Line Infantry. The first is Light Infantry, these were the special forces of the day. The strongest, tallest, quickest men were selected for this unit and were the elite. We also portray the feared British Marines with their Madder Red Coats and shining buckles and accoutrements ,its fun to also experience the war from their view point. Militia from just before the war to just after the beginning of the war most colonies only had Militia's with powder horns and fowlers you too can take on the British Army. Camp follower's were the wives and children of soldiers who would help support the Army, by cooking, cleaning and sometime helping the men in battle. they keep the army together. Finally local Civilians from the area from store clerks to craftsmen, we do it all. THE 5TH CONNECTICUT REGIMENTThe 5th Connecticut Regiment is made up of a group of like-minded people with a passion for history and accuracy from all walks of life from Teachers to Truck Drivers to Corporate big wigs. We all strive to accurately portray the rolls that we do with proper documentation and best known practices.
