The Sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry is a reenactment and living history group with members in Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield. Columbus, Northern Kentucky and their surrounding areas. We participate in 10 - 12 events a year from small camps to large national events.
Our mission is to recreate as accurately as possible an infantry company of the Civil War (1861-1865). We portray an impression primarily of Western Theater Federal soldiers, and strive for the highest level of individual and unit authenticity and accuracy. We believe that authenticity and accuracy are essential to the creation of a high-quality interpretation of historical events and people.
We try to act as a military organization when in the field, and we make as few concessions to the present as possible using common sense with regard to the health and safety of our membership and public spectators. We also welcome the living history efforts of women and other non-combatants.

This website for the Sixth Ohio will be replaced soon with a new website. Look for a new link to that site here soon. This site will end around March 31, 2012.
The 2012 season will be starting soon. Our company meeting is later this month with a dust-off and mini-training camp soon after so we can prepare for the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh. That reenactment will be taking place the weekend of March 30 -April 01, 2012. See our 2012 Event Schedule page for more details about our activities this year.
Above is a photo a photo of the marker for the 6th Ohio at Shiloh. We hope to have a group photo taken there during the reenactment weekend.
