The First Kentucky Rifle Regiment - Captain Hickman's Company - About Us and Contacts
About Us
The First Kentucky Rifle Regiment Reenacting Group is based near Cobourg, Ontario. We portray a company of Kentucky militia riflemen raised at the beginning of the War of 1812. However, the same uniforms and equipment were still in use throughout the War. It was this flexibility, our respect for the tenacity of the Kentucky militia, and a fascination of several members with shooting long rifles that inspired our choice of unit. It also helped that the entire group are avid skirmishers and there were no local American units for our neighbouring Canadian and British units to fight against. Finally, we do say so ourselves, the blue and red frock coats look so good .....
We also portray two other groups - the 3rd York Rifles and a Kentucky militia artillery unit.
