The Austin Light Artillery Battery takes its name from the Texas 6th Field Artillery Battery
of the Confederate States of America. It is a nonpartisan, nonsectarian reenactment group
based in Austin, Texas. The battery owns a fully functional reproduction "1841 Six Pound Smooth
Bore Light Artillery Piece" named Patience. We reenact time frames from the Texas Revolution,
through the War Between the States, and up to the Cowboy times. We reenact to pay tribute to
to all the military people that have served the United States through its long history.
The Austin Light Artillery Battery is proud to announce that we have been offered a permanent home
by the Plum Creek Cowboy Shooting Society at Agarita Ranch outside of Lockhart, Texas. We are growing
our ranks and will soon be building a Battery Headquarters out at the ranch. The headquarters will include
an office, bunk room, and storage space for our cannon, Patience. We will be calling our headquarters Fort Agarita
on Plum Creek.
