Our organization participates in Reenactments in North Carolina and the surrounding states. We also do Living History encampments at local community festivals. We have a great passion for school programs where we bring history alive for the students. In these programs we do not get into the politics of the War but show the equipment, living conditions, and activities of the Soldier. At these programs we talk about both the Confederate and Union Soldier. We also do an expanded program for local historical organizations. We have been known to talk to anyone that will listen.
Loading and firing antique or replica muzzle loading cannon is a highly dangerous activity, essential safety rules and reliance on others to follow proper procedures demand the utmost attention to detail. Although seeming effortless by our cannoneers, the re-enactors of the Charlotte Artillery are fully aware of the potential for injury. Our re-enactors are thoroughly trained and do not engage in this activity unless certified by competent instructors.
