The Company

Brief

The White River Guard was incorporated in May 2009 and is currently in a growth stage. As a formal group, the White River Guard participates in various re-enactment and educational events and demonstrations throughout Indiana. The focus of the group in on representation of a local militia during the 1800's with specific attention being paid to the War of 1812 and 1836 peace time. Being a group representative of a militia of the times we include civilians in our interpretation which opens the doors for families to participate in any of our events. It is the desire of the White River Guard to be family oriented and to encourage the participation of families at events. Only with the participation of families can the picture of the 1800s be vividly painted in the minds of all those we aspire to reach and inform.

Field Officers

Since the White River Guard Inc, is incorporated, the field officers for events do not align with corporate officers. The corporate officers manage the finances, schedules, and decisions affect the group as a whole. The field officers are responsible for training members in the manual of arms, relations with other field officers, firearm safety, and providing direction on the field during re-enactments.
