This is done through historical exhibits and campsites where we engage the public.

We are always recruiting both veteran reenacters and newcomers to the hobby. We all started from the bottom and understand how daunting beginning reenacting can be and were here to help newcomers every step of the way. We are a very open and welcoming group. The company has loaner gear in which we use to outfit new members with. Email Captain Hasslinger and we will be happy to accommodate you.
