February 15, 2014: The 38th NCT will again hold a living history event at Rural Hill Farm in Huntersville, NC just north of Charlotte on February 15, 2014. We have done this event for several years on our own with a few others joining us on occasion. This year, the site managers want to expand the event with more troops, especially Federal troops. It is a great period site. Lots and lots of room for camps, drilling, and if numbers allow a skirmish or battle. They allow troops to camp on Friday night and have their own living historians participate as well. There has always been a large turn-out of spectators, especially children. The 28th NCT is invited to attend. Please consider this event as part of your unit planning for the 2014 year. Again, we hope to see our friends from the 28th NCT at Rural Hill on Feb. 15th.

April 19: Hi John, Walt Gaylor who reenacts with your group is on our advisory board here at Rosedale Plantation is Charlotte NC. I have been in conversation with him about a living history on April 19,2014. The scenario would be at the end of the war with refugees and soldiers returning home. We would have both soldiers and civilians. About five or six years ago we did a hospital living history with the NC 13th but basically this is like our first foray into this area. We are a very small, but well-run, site with a great basic tour and a great deal of information about the family who lived here. They had a son with the 63rd NC who was just such a refugee returning home. Let me know if you think this date is a possibility for some of your folks. Thank you, Beth Harris http://www.historicrosedale.org/

May 30 - June 1 I hope all is well! Just wanted to check back in regarding the Latta Plantation Civil War Battle Reenactment (May 30 - June 1) and see if the 28th would be able to make it back out. As it stands it looks as if the 26th NCT and the 49th NCT will be attending as Union Forces along with the 88th NY. I am hoping to have you all along with the 30th and the 13th make up the Confederate Forces. This year the battles will be taking place down at the trench area which should both be fun for the reenactor and spectator. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank You, Matthew Waisner
