Welcome to the Ethan Allen Long Rifles!
The Ethan Allen Long Rifles (EALR) is a muzzle loading, shooting and living history organization whose mission is to promote safety and accuracy in the use of muzzle loading firearms and public awareness of living history in early colonial and American heritage through education, demonstration, and recreation and reenactments.
The EALR serves as an umbrella organization, providing insurance for several living history groups, both military and civilian, and is a charter club member of The National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association. It is incorporated in the State of Vermont and is a 501c3 organization.
Members of the EALR are eligible to join any of the recreated units. There currently are four active units and one unit looking to join. They cover the French and Indian and Revolutionary War time periods and also civilian colonial life in North America in the last half of the 18th century. Some members like to try their hand at more than one group.
Please see the ACTIVE UNITS tab for additional information on the units and how to contact them directly. The CALENDAR tab provides information on specific events each unit will be attending.
Membership in the EALR is open to individuals and families. You are not required to join an active unit to become a member and participate in any of the EALR events.
