North-South Skirmish Association www.n-ssa.org
The North-South Skirmish Association (N-SSA) was formed in 1950 to commemorate the ACW Ft. Shenandoah is the N-SSA's home range.

It is located on several hundred acres of land in the rolling hills of the lower Shenandoah Valley, just outside of Wi******er, Virginia. Facilities include the country's widest (over a quarter mile) r***e range controlled from a single tower, a separate revolver range, and private camping. Member units are assigned campsites for their use throughout the year. Most competitors and their families spend skirmish weekends on the range - a particularly enjoyable experience during the prime camping seasons of late May (Spring Nationals) and early October (Fall Nationals). Planned activities for a typical skirmish weekend include children's programs, dances, cook-outs, and trips to "Sutler Row," where vendors display and sell Civil War fi****ms, accoutrements, and clothing. Watch our video below to get a front-row view of how exciting skirmishing can be!
