The Wythe Grays is a living history association dedicated to accurately portraying soldiers and civilians of the American Civil War.
The original "Wythe Grays" had its origin as a prewar Virginia militia company. The company was later reorganized and given the new designation of Company A of the 4th Regiment of Virginia Infantry. Brigaded with other companies and regiments from the state's Shenandoah Valley, the men from Wythe County embarked on a military career that would earn them the respect of their peers and an honorable place in history.

In 1973 the memory of the "Wythe Grays" was resurrected when a group of Civil War enthusiasts joined together to create a living history organization and chose Company A, 4th Virginia Infantry as their identity. As one of the oldest reenactment organizations in the East, the men and women of the "Wythe Grays" have again earned the respect of their peers and been veterans of many a "campaign".
