It all depends for what time period you wish to check out… for RevWar, places like Williamsburg, Virginia are good. Also, all the Rev War battlefield sites. Really, the whole Eastern Seaboard has reenacting events and something pretty much every weekend.

It’s best to check out the battlefields themselves, as they will have info on events taking place there throughout the year. Same for Civil War battlefields and events. And of course, don’t forget the big Gettysburg event held every year over the July 4th holiday weekend. On what was once the “frontier” in the Midwest, there are many smaller historical events. Our friends at Smoke and Fire News is a great place to check this out.

It all depends on what interests and fascinates YOU. There’s WWI, WWII, Roman, even U.S. Calvary stuff out west, where you can live for a week in an old fort, wearing authentic clothes and eating authentic food. You pull guard duty and might find your self roused out of a night’s sleep to go “chase Indians.” And yes, there are Native American reenactors who take things every bit as serious as any other military group.

Reenacting is allabout rediscovering history and studying the things you are passionate about.
