1st U.S. Cavalry:
- on hiatus for the 2026 season -
Ride or March With the 1st U.S. Cavalry, A Regiment of Honor Since 1855 From the bloodied fields of Antietam to the burning heart of Georgia, the 1st U.S. Cavalry has stood at the front lines of the Union war effort. Our troopers helped break the Confederate line at Fort Donelson, pursued rebel raiders through Tennessee, and now press forward with General Sherman on the March to the Sea. You don’t need to bring a horse to serve. Many of our men fight dismounted trained, armed, and ready to move fast and strike hard. If you seek action, purpose, and a place in history, the 1st U.S. Cavalry is calling your name. Mounted or on foot, answer the call. Join the 1st.

The Cavalry units portray soldiers on both the north and the south, as well as mounted and dismounted.
The cavalry units that operate within the Northwest Civil War Council, also frequently work closely with the Cavalry units that are in the Washington Civil War Association such as the 3rd West Virginia Cav.
