Historical Reenactment

We went to a Historical Reenactment at Olive the other day.  At the first station, I was an example, so of course I couldn't take a picture of THAT!  Some others probably did.  At a station with a "tavern", we read a letter and the owner was quite amazed.  We had forgotten that these people were in character.  We were all a bit intimidated by the next station, where we were shown a "helping stick" by a school teacher.  There was also a surveyor, a woodworker named Jeremiah, a wig maker, and a scout.  At the wig maker's, one of our classmates tried on a wig.  He looked hilarious, and we learned that even men and boys wore wigs!  On the way home, we took a break in the bus and compared and contrasted our experiences.  Some people were yelling about "Oh yeah, and I liked that..." etc. etc.  All in all, it was a really fun trip.  I put some of our favorite moments in the slideshow at the left.  Have fun looking at it!
