About Us

The 7th Texas Cavalry strives to reenact the citizen soldier from Texas. It was formed to provide enjoyable opportunities for individuals and families to experience, learn, and in return, teach others about all aspects of life in the mid-19th century. The American Civil War is one of the most fascinating and defining moments in our history. Everything from the military conflicts and tactics to civilian life with its social expectations and customs, are experiences that 21st Century living historians in the 7th Texas Cavalry attempt to re-create.
