These goals are achieved through the portrayal of 18th century civilian and military life at historic sites, schools, military reenactments open to the public and private treks, skill weekends and tacticals. ... Our military portrayals include the Donegal Township Riflemen and the Pennsylvania State Regiment for The American Revolutionary War time period, and the Donegal Militia and the Milice de la Belle Riviere for the French and Indian War time period.
.
Through these four military units we strive to share the experiences of 18th century life and the early history of this nation.

Never heard of these guys, ...

I know them as Belle Reviére. I was with them at Fort Frederick the weekend before last. They are from southern PA, and, of course, take their name from the Ohio. I think they are "centered" in the Pittsburg area, but one of their leaders, Butch Rodgers, lives in WVA very near to Fort Frederick. Sometimes they are known as the purple leggings milice because they found documentation that purple was issued to the milice for leggings and breech cloths. Not really purple, more violet. But next to navy blue you can see the difference. They were at most of the 250th series of F&I events.
