Barr's Battery, and its companion units, is a non-profit Living History and Civil War Re-enactment Group with it's members in Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee.The majority of our troops are members of Marshall's Rifles,Camp#2079,Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Our mission is to honor the Civil War soldier by portraying his life as accurately as possible.We are a family oriented group and strive to uphold the values of our ancestors.We welcome new recruits, of all sexes and ages.

In addition to Barr's Battery, we also portray a Confederate Infantry unit, Company C,63rd Virginia Infantry.

In tribute to our foes, we galvanize as the 5th Kentucky Battery, US Volunteers, 1st Maine Heavy Artillery, and Co.H,54th Kentucky Infantry, US Volunteers.

All these units are encompassed in The Grayson Blue/Gray Society. As a group we strive to better educate the general public on the traditions and history of the region. We sincerely hope that others will follow the example we endeavor to set.

If the very old will remember,

The very young will listen"

Chief Dan George

In an effort to better honor those who served during the trying times of the American Civil War, Barr's Battery and the Grayson Blue/Gray Society will at times be called upon to portray a specific unit at a specific event. In order to do this the battery will also reenact these other Confederate batteries in battles at which they were participants. We hope to do justice to these groups as well as our parent unit and Society.
