Back In Time…
A couple weekends ago, there was a Civil War reenactment in a nearby town. My dad is part of the group that organizes it. He reenacts as a chaplain giving out gospel tracts and literature from the 1860s. I grew up reenacting and I enjoy browsing around the sutlers who sell “wares” from that time period. The event is so much fun to photograph!

My husband is a HUGE Civil War buff, but we’ve yet to have a real opportunity to see any reenactments together. He’d love to be involved in one, but since he’s a Yank stuck south of the Mason-Dixon, we’ll have to see if it ever happens. 😉

My family used to do reenactments in a little town built like one in the 1850s. It was so fun! Although, I must admit… All those layers in the summer was not fun. lol
I must admit, I have never seen a Civil War reenactment live. Wish I can get to see one.
Hi honey!
I have never been to a reenactment. I think it would really be interesting and I would enjoy it.
I have a brother that goes to rendezvous. I thought he wanted to be a cowboy. He really surprised me as he is studying to become a medicine man! His grandson grew up going with grandpa to these events.
I have never been to a rendezvous either. I would love to see history come alive.
My Randy takes Christy to a renaissance festival almost every year. I think that is a little too far back for me!
Thank you for sharing your pictures! It made me want to attend one!
Love to you,
Grandma Patty Ann

Great shots!
My kids are involved in the civil war reenactment around here for school and it’s always a good time.
Happy WW!

I am so thankful for men like your dad who minister to reenactors. They are a tough group but will go to services because “it was the thing to do”. Many have been reached with the Gospel. I wish your unit would come over this way. 🙂
Yep. We reenact the 17th century and call it Rendezvous (after the fur trade era rendezvous). In fact, I have an archery tourney next weekend and I’ve started a new batch of dresses for Lil’ Bit for next season!
How fun! 🙂
