Directions Website

5th Pennsylvania Regiment Members of the Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment are available for your next event. We would love to share Welcome fellow patriot and student of history!

As volunteers, we are dedicated to portraying the men and women who fought and suffered for our Independence. The Fifth Pennsylvania was a locally formed regiment of Chester & Bucks County men. Originally formed by “Mad” Anthony Wayne in 1775 as the 4th Pennsylvania Battalion, it was reorganized under Col. Francis Johnston as the 5th PA. Our family friendly unit consists of two companies, a Light Infantry and a R***e Company, as they appeared during the Philadelphia Campaign (1777-1778). We are full members of the Continental Line.
