More about the 79th Highlanders
This Festival was started by this group, The 79th Highlanders Living History Association,back in 1993 in Kiowa.
The group consists of a pipe band, a color guard, an infantry component (carrying rifles, doing platoon drill and manuevers,
marching with the pipe band), and Civil War era camp followers (civilians--men, women and children). The pipe band
meets every week (Sunday afternoons) at the Kiowa Masonic Lodge. Beginners are welcome!
The Infantry component plans to meet once a month for drill and deportment work, depending on schedules.
This group also marches in parades.
The 79th Highlanders often has displays at different events, such as at the reopening of the Elbert
County History Museum in Kiowa, and at Highland Games and also at Encampments.
The "Regiment" is recruiting! Come join the gallant 79th Highlanders! You will learn about the regiment, and
the story of Scots and Irish immigrants in America's largest war. Come to the encampment at the west end of the Clan Row.
