Because the group's founders live in proximity to the site of Ft. Augusta, it seemed natural to re-create The Augusta Regiment as another impression in their French and Indian War/Revolutionary War reenactment hobby. We found it appropriate to assume a single-company identity.  After researching the command history of The Augusta Regiment, it was decided to assume the identity of Burd's Company, because James Burd was associated with the regiment throughout its entire history.  No other officer was found to have the same term of service.

In 2005 we became a nonprofit corporation, and received tax exempt status under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code in 2006.

Our stated purpose is to present to the membership and to the public at large, examples and demonstrations designed to educate about the history of military occupation, conflict,  and settlement of this region along the Susquehanna River during the mid-18th century--primarily the period of the Seven Years War--through participation in and sponsorship of lectures, exhibitions, school programs, educational workshops, publications, parades, battle reenactments, tactical weapons demonstrations, encampments, folk-life demonstrations, shooting matches, and other similar activities. 

In addition, the members of The Augusta Regiment, Burd's Company, through research and study, will gain in their own knowledge of 18th century military and civilian life.
