| The
New Ulm Battery is now recruiting men of quality to continue the long and proud tradition
of defending the Citizens of New Ulm. We are an organized unit of Civil War era artillery horsemen and re-enactors from Minnesota who honor the memory of Civl War Union Artillery veterans and New Ulm Battery veterans through living history and preservation. The ordnance we currently use consists of: one 6 lbs field gun, two 3 in rifled guns, limbers, cassions, harnesses and draft horses from nearby farms. Our membership runs the entire length of experience from novice to professional artillerist. We have won awards for black powder, cannon and mortar competitions |
