The Sixty-Ninth is a non-profit American Civil War reenacting group based in Central California. We meet once a month and host Civil War Battles and encampments. The 69th was an Irish unit that fought during the war with great distinction and honor. Through their heavy and hard fighting they earned a place of respect in the hearts of the American people, and helped overturn the anti-Irish bias that was common at that time period.

As Living Historians, we also volunteer our time and make appearances at schools and libraries to talk about the Civil War to students. It is a very rewarding and fascinating hobby, and we are always looking for interested individuals.
