Enlist in the Edenton Bell Battery Interested in membership with The Edenton Bell Battery? Well, you've come to the right place! The Edenton Bell Battery welcomes anybody who is interested in seeing what this "reenacting stuff" is all about. What you will come to find is that civil war reenacting is one of the more unique hobbies one can get involved in. As most of us had before, we know there are some general questions that most have about the hobby. Below is a list of frequently asked questions that shoul help. Q. Do I have to prove that I have an ancestor that served in the Civil War. A. No. Eventhough some of our members belong to heritage organizations it is not required to prove you have an ancestor. Q. Is this hobby going to cost alot to get into? A. Like most hobbies, your first initial investment will cost some money. You will have to purchase a uniform and sleeping quarters. However, it is not required to buy all of this stuff your first go round. After all, you don't want to invest in a hobby if you aren't sure you'll like it. Our roster is made up of veteran reenactors that can loan you pieces at first to see what you think. If you're hooked after your first event we will assist you in locating good prices on the necessary equipment. Other than your initial investment there are only dues and event registration fees. Q. Can I bring my family with me? A. Of course! The Edenton Bell Battery strives to provide a great family atmosphere. Q. Is this hobby going to take up alot of my time? A. Only if you want it to. The Edenton Bell Battery tries to schedule at least one event per month, however we understand that apart from the hobby everyone has a life (work, family, other obligations, etc.) Come when you can. Q. What kind of people are involved in this hobby? A. There are many people in the hobby from different walks of life. All with different believes and views much like everyday life. That being said, The Edenton Bell Battery is very mindful of others and share 3 goals in this hobby; educate the general public about the history of the civil war, honor all the men (blue & grey) who fell on the field of battle during that horrible time in history, and to have a good time doing it.
