Welcome to the US Military Women Historical Impressions website.
An introduction
USMWHI was founded in January 2004 by several experienced female re-enactors / living historians.
In our experiences, we saw a need for a female group that had at it's core, a deep commitment to authenticity, but also to openness and enjoyment. We wanted to honor all our veterans, but especially the women who have served their country in peace and in war. We want to tell their stories that are often lost or overlooked. We realized that military drill and ceremonies are often the missing part of units, so the founders agreed to maintain a drill unit. Also, we wanted a new way to organize our unit without the formality or barriers that are sometimes a part of "boards, presidents and committees".
We have members located on the US East Coast, from South Carolina to Pennsylvania, although we are generally based in Maryland. If you have a true interest in living history or reenacting, we invite you to ask questions, talk to us, and visit with us at an event and join with us.
