History

The New Mexico Civil War Commemorative Congress was founded in 1991 as a coordinating body and venue for inter-unit communication. The NMCWCC has been the organizing body for the El Rancho de las Golondrinas Civil War Weekend, the largest Civil War reenactment event in New Mexico. This event was originally held on the site of the March 1862 Battle of Glorietta Pass, as a means of encouraging Congress to incorporate the site into the National Park Service. That mission having been accomplished the event is now held on the grounds of the El Rancho de las Golondrinas Living History Museum. The Congress has from time to time facilitated a number of other living history events and projects.

Mission

The mission of the NMCWCC is provide a forum for the communication of ideas and events between the member units and other reenacting units in New Mexico. The hope is to establish congenial cooperation between units, standards for safety, and resources to units and members for improvement of authenticity of presentation.
