The 1st Maryland CSA is a "mainstream" reenacting unit (including women as civilians) that does their best to portray people from the state of Maryland who served in the Confederacy. They have done many battle reenactments, living histories, school education programs, and parades and were one of 2 CSA units who actually camped on the ground of the Museum before it opened to the public (during the "Grand Review" event in Harrisburg).
