Any units in or around northern michigan?

[Thunder Bay]

Afternoon,
I was wondering if there are any units located in Northern Michigan? I'm near Alpena and have been bit by the Civil war reenacting bug.... Any and all information is much appreciated.

Howdy!

Are you looking to portray Union or Confederate? I don't believe that there are many units in Northern Michigan. I have heard of the 26th Michigan out of Traverse City. I have not dealt with them, nor do I know much about them. If I'm not mistaken they stick to doing encampments. I am not 100% certain though, so I would check with them. I'm not sure how far you are willing to travel, but if you are interested in joining a Confederate unit, you might like to join the 17th South Carolina Infantry (we are out of Southern Michigan). Here is our website: 17thscinfantry.tripod.com

Good Luck!

Check out the Medich Battalion. They have units in Michigan. Great Battalion.

Thanks folks,
I sent out some emails to the 26th hope to hear back from someone there soon,

Know how to get in touch with ANYBODY from the 26th? My emails have gone unanswered. It's really frustrating to see all the units out there and wanting to become a part of this but have NO ONE to speak to about it or have a hope of joining up with..... Getting frustrated, UGH.
