Our Mission: Authentic History
|
This is a good place to have a brief explanation about our site.
The Reenactment Hobby has been growing since the 1960's when the 100th anniversary events of the Civil War took place. Every five years we seem to go through a number of major reenactments on the dates (or near them)of the decisive battles of the war. In 1999 the battle reenactment at Chicamauga attract 25,000 participants.
If you are interested in participating, we hope that you will contact or join one of the Federal or Confederate units hosting this site. You do not need to ride to reenact a cavalry unit, although some of us do.
College Credit for Reenacting History
For those with a more scholarly approach to history, Dr.Jim Volo and his wife, Dr. Dorothy (recipient of five Celebration of Excellence teaching awards) teach courses in living history that can be taken for college credit. Many teachers from around the Northeast have taken these course for personal development,for continuing education credit, and for salary increases over the last decade. The courses are accredited by at least one of the major colleges and universities listed on our other pages. The cost is reasonable (and a lot less than on campus).
WE CAN COME TO YOU.
Teachers and administrators should taken note that courses and living history presentations can be arranged at your location on a range of topics.
