Fisher's Mess is an "authentic"/Progressive campaign company portraying the "common" Western Confederate and Union soldier in the War Between the States.

On this site, we'll introduce our mess and give some examples of the types of activities we're involved in. For example, our number one goal is to accurately show the life of the Civil War soldier to the best of our ability. We do our best to portray both Union and Confederate soldier's with equal enthusiasm.


History of the Mess

The mess was formed in April of 1999 by like minded Living Historians who wanted to take reenacting to a higher level. We wanted to achive the highest level of authenticity that can be achieved safely. We have been fortunate to meet some helpful people and messes that have guided us toward our goals. We continue to learn and strive for this quest for authenticity.
