Based in Long Island’s Sayville, the Company K, 67th NY Historical Association consists of civilians who act out imagined roles of a regiment that was also known as the “First Long Island Volunteers.” They seek to preserve history and educate. In addition to re-enactments, these volunteers participate in parades, remembrances, and gravesite ceremonies.
