In September of 1862, the 145th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry became the third regiment raised in Erie, Pennsylvania, during the American Civil War.

    134 years later, in September of 1996, the 145th PVI Company D was again formed in Erie, Pennsylvania, with the goal of accurately portraying the original 145th PVI, while also creating a family oriented unit for all to enjoy what has been written in their country's history.

    To accomplish this goal, the 145th PVI Company D travels to area states to reenact the battles fought by our ancestors.  As we also conduct living history presentations to tell their story, as we strive to relive and experience the hardships they went through.
