The 21st Michigan Volunteer Infantry, my Civil War Reenacting group, does a myriad of fun things throughout the year. Besides the more obvious battle recreations and encampments, we march in parades and speak to schools, scouts and other groups. Last week, a few of us met with a local historical society... the "entertainment" at their monthly meeting. Here are a few photographs that I took. One of the nice things about the East Detroit Historical Society, in Eastpointe, is that they hold their meetings in a 1872 School House (its museum). We have our Christmas party (in period garb) there as well. The place is a well-cared for gem and it is easy to feel like we've gone back in time - and we live for that kind of rush!
