23rd Regiment United States Colored Troops

The 23rd Regiment United States Colored Troops is a living history organization that has formed for the Sesquicentennial Commemoration of the American Civil War. The unit is located in the Spotsylvania area and is working in conjunction with the John J. Wright Educational & Cultural Center Museum. We are actively seeking recruits in the Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, and Stafford regions to interpret and educate the public about the contribution made by the 23rd USCT and African Americans during the Civil War.
