Welcome to the Website of Hampton's Battery F
| Hampton’s Battery F was established in 1994 as a non-profit incorporation organization in the state of Pennsylvania. This organization is design to portray the life of the common soldier in the Union Artillery during the Civil War. Our Battery over the years has participated in numerous programs such as educational presentations for schools, guided tours, ceremonies, various living histories and Civil War reenactments. This Battery enjoys being placed with other artillery units of the same stature to make up a six gun Battery at events that Hampton's Battery F attends. This adds more realism in our camps and adds excitement of a well fought battle especially at the much larger events such as Gettysburg, Cedar Creek and Antietam. Our Battery uses a full scale privately owned reproduction of a Model 1861 Ten-Pound Parrott Rifle and Limber. |
