Knaps Independent Battery 'E'
Welcome to the Home Page of Knap's Independant Battery 'E', Pennsylvania Light Artillery.  Founded in 1971, Knaps Battery is a registered Non-Profit Corporation organized to educate the general public about the contributions of Western Pennsylvania to the American Civil War and the role of the artillery branch, 1861 - 1865. This is accomplished through battle reenactments, military drill and demonstrations, school programs, living history encampments, and memorial  ceremonies. The group owns two Full Scale 3-Inch Ordnance Rifles, accompanying Limbers and the necessary supporting accessories and camp gear,  

We are based in Western Pennsylvania, though also have
members from all over the United States.

We are always looking for new members who share our passion and welcome you to try out this rewarding hobby with us. Please take a moment to browse our site and learn  more about the organization.
