About The Armies of Tennessee

Since 1997, The Armies of Tennessee has been a re-enactment  organization dedicated to the preservation of American History. Our focus is to host, co-host and support local, regional and national events in the Western Theatre. The Armies of Tennessee will also participate in and support the 150th Anniversary national events being held by other affiliated organizations across our great nation.

The Armies of Tennessee is a self contained group of Artillery, Infantry, Mounted Cavalry, Dismounted Cavalry, Medical Corps and Civilian re-enactors. Each unit is commanded by veteran re-enactors who observe civility and respect both on the field of combat and in the presence of spectators. The Armies of Tennessee is a family oriented organization that has a place for both the beginner re-enactor and the hardcore campaigner.

The Armies of Tennessee will portray both Confederate and Federal impressions as needed. The periods of portrayal will range from the fall of 1861 to the spring of 1865. From Camp Wildcat to the Battle of Bentonville, The Armies of Tennessee is prepared to take the field in grand scale.

Our Confederate impression will take to the field as The Army of Tennessee, which was one of the main Confederate Armies in the Western Theatre. Our Union impression will take to the field as The Army of the Tennessee, which was one of the main Union Armies in the Western Theatre. 


If you have a unit that would like to be part of our heritage preservation efforts please join our group today. If you are an individual who like to be a re-enactor or a re-enactor who's looking for a unit, you have found a home. Now let's go burn some powder!

                         Robert E. Lee's Prelude to the War Between the States:

They do not know what they say. If it came to a conflict of arms, the war will last at least four years. Northern politicians will not appreciate the determination and pluck of the South, and Southern politicians do not appreciate the numbers, resources, and patient perseverance of the North. Both sides forget that we are all Americans. I foresee that our country will pass through a terrible ordeal, a necessary expiation, perhaps, for our national sins.
