In 1989, some men and women from the Chicago area organized the Taylor's Battery of today. We are a nonprofit educational organization, devoted to preserving the memory of the men from the Chicago land area who served in the original Taylor's Battery and the ladies who supported them at home. Reenacting is a hobby that involves people of all ages. There are many local weekend events, living histories, and school presentations that our Civilian members also participate in. On this page you will find some informative articles pertaining to Civilian impressions written by both members of our organization and used by permission from other sources. | |
