The Georgia Division Reenactors Association, Inc. (GDRA) was founded in 1978 and has become Georgia's premier professional Civil War reenacting organization. The GDRA is both non-profit and family-oriented. We honor the brave and resourceful people from our past by participating in living history demonstrations, battle reenactments and memorial services. Our membership is open to all who strive to accurately portray either military or civilian impressions of life during this period. We make every effort to continue to educate both ourselves and the public about the realities of the era. The GDRA supports and participates in raising funds for historic preservation of Civil War sites in Georgia and throughout our nation.
We organize and conduct living history demonstrations at many locations throughout Georgia and Tennessee, such as:

Other staff members include a Chief of Staff, Secretary and Treasurer. The Division is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of the Ordnance/Safety Officer, AIG, Judge Advocate, Immediate Past Commanding General, and two representatives from each branch.
Whether you are a new recruit or a seasoned veteran, a living historian, or a unit looking for a home, the GDRA has a home for you. We have branches for both military and civilian reenactors. Our military branches also galvanize to do Federal impressions as needed at certain events to help provide accurate portrayal of troop ratios.
