Civilian members of our unit support the military mission  by developing  impressions appropriate for our presence in a regular military encampment and by actively contributing to the unit’s overall presence at events. We seek to educate the public on the life of civilians in camp life, home life, while traveling, and while visiting family members with the regular army.  The civilian organization of the First Nebraska Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company A structured and encourages the century etiquette during events.  A Civilian Coordinator is elected by the membership each year at the unit's Annual Meeting of the First Nebraska Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company A. Committees may be formed to organize special projects. Civilians may also participate in various civil war period projects or fund-raising activities. All projects will be proposed in advance and then presented to the civilians at a meeting for discussion and a vote. Previous activities have included quilting bees, museum tours, dances, and classes on various topics such as fitting a bodice or making a bonnet.
