| Welcome to the Website of Hampton's Battery F |
| Hampton’s Battery F was established in 1994 as a non-profit organization in the state of Pennsylvania. This organization was designed to portray the life of the common soldier in the Union Artillery during the Civil War. Our Battery over the years has participated in numerous programs such as educational presentations for schools, guided tours, ceremonies, various living histories and Civil War reenactments. This Battery enjoys being placed with other artillery units of the same stature to make up a six gun Battery at events that Hampton's Battery F attends. This adds more realism in our camps and adds excitement of a well fought battle especially at the much larger events such as Gettysburg, Cedar Creek and Antietam. Our Battery uses a full scale privately owned reproduction of a Model 1861 Ten-Pound Parrott Rifle and Limber. Hampton's Battery F is currently recruiting new members to fill all the positions on the gun and replace members on the gun crew that can’t attend events for various reasons. Also families are welcome to participate as civilians which would be appropriate during the Civil War period. Most of our members are from different regions across Pennsylvania and in neighboring states as well. Our Battery headquarters is located at Captain Brown’s residents near Spring Mills just East of State College, Pa. The membership is very proud that Hampton’s Battery F is a well regarded unit that works very well with other organization and units especially in the Artillery both Union and Confederate. All of us from Hampton’s sincerely hopes that after viewing our web site it gives you the knowledge and the interest that would make you consider joining the Artillery and possibly Hampton’s Battery F. At this time I would like to thank our friends in the reenactment community for their support over the years. See you on the battle fields and around our camp fires. Our Motto given to us by Greg Hampton with great pride is Droit et Advant (Right and Forward), we honor those words in the spirit it was given to us.
