The 2nd New York welcomes the opportunity to expand its ranks with others who might want to join them in recreating the history of early America. There are many roles to play, both in camp and on the field. Men, women, and (supervised) children can participate in historically appropriate roles to bring history alive.

Every member owns their own clothing and equipment, so it is advised new members have sufficient disposable income to afford the undertaking and have enough free weekends to enjoy it. Though, with few exceptions, members of this group always seem to find the time and the money to take part.

Motivated applicants are assisted in getting uniformed, equipped, and educated. Sources for almost everything, including muskets, are available at discounted prices.  Since ready made items generally do not meet unit standards, the 2nd New York maintains its own storehouse of raw materials.  The all-natural fabrics are bought by the bolt and oak-tanned leather by the hide.  Felt hat blanks are purchased in quantity, and later blocked and sized to fit the individual member.  Patterns and instructions are also in stock for making needed items, or they can locate the best sources for finished goods should you prefer to buy them.

Contact the 2nd New York today for more information on how you and your family can join in on one of the most enjoyable and worthwhile hobbies of today - reliving our nation's historic past.
