About Us

The 13th Virginia Infantry, Company I reenacted (A.K.A The Lucky 13th) is a family oriented group that was established in the early 1990’s.  The unit started out small, with only about 15 members, and has grown to approximately 45 men, women and children.  The Lucky 13th is proud to be a part of the 1st Division, Army of Northern Virginia, Inc.  http://www.1stdivisionanv.com/  We are the largest unit within the organization.

This unit is well known throughout the reenactment community for its impeccable firing capability and discipline.  The ANV organization permits young men to begin participation at the age of 16; however, exceptions are made beginning at the age of 14 upon successful completion of a safety test.  This test is administered by the General and/or Commanding Officer only.  As a result of hard work and practice, The Lucky 13th is proud to have a perfect safety record since its inception.

The commanding officer of the 13th was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st Battalion in November 2014.  He held the position of Overall Commander at the reenactment of the 150th Anniversary of the Surrender at Appomattox in April of 2015. 

The 13th Virginia Company I reenactment group is truly one of kind.  It promotes discipline, respect, safety, family values and is a great educational experience.
