Company B, 8th Ohio Volunteer Infantry is a Living History-Reenacting unit dedicated to preserving the memory of the original 8th OVI.
Formed over 35 years ago, Co. B is based in Northeast Ohio, with a membership extending throughout the state, as well as Michigan, Maryland, North Carolina, and West Virginia.
Our Reenacting and Living History events are done primarily on or near the original battlefields in the Eastern Theater of the Civil War. We have worked extensively with the National Park Service, presenting Living History Interpretations at Antietam National Battlefield, Fort McHenry National Monument, The William McKinley National Memorial, and Gettysburg National Military Park, including the Sesquicentennial Memorials at both Antietam and Gettysburg.
Our reenactors have appeared in such productions as "Glory", "Gettysburg", and "Gods and Generals", as well as numerous productions for The History Channel.
