54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment Company B

The 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company B, Washington, DC, is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to preserving the history of the 54th Massachusetts and the Black Soldier in the Civil War. We serve as a living monument to commemorate and honor all the men who served, lost their lives and health in the Civil War, particularly those members of our namesake, the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry; we strive to have the 54th Massachusetts bring history to life as accurately and authentically as possible so that people who come to see us will gain a better understanding and appreciation of their heritage and history.

An accurate portrayal of blacks in the Civil War is our objective and in order to achieve this, we need men with a strong interest in history and the motivation to do the job well. Visit our Membership Information page to learn more and/or to fill out an application.
