I attended the American Heritage & Historics Festival in Frankenmuth Michigan this past weekend and got to see some really passionate people doing their thing. Historical reenactors came from Georgia, Ohio, Indiana, and of course, Michigan to participate in the two day event. There were groups representing everything from the American Revolutionary War through the Vietnam war. The groups camp out under the stars living life as it would have been during their chosen period. The event included weapons demonstrations, lectures on period life, and mock battles. It was a blast!! (pun intended). I have pictures from the other groups as well, and will post them soon.
