Creating History: The Art of First Person Interpretations – Virtual

Literature, Lectures, and Talks, Online Event

April 24 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm  

Free – $15

See what it takes to reenact some of the most famous eras in history! In 2021 and 2023 the Bidwell House Museum hosted two weekend-long living history events where dozens of people camped on the property and lived as if it was the time of the American Revolution. The Museum is planning a third reenactment weekend this coming fall, on October 3-5. The dedication of these historical interpreters creates a wonderfully immersive and educational experience for the visitor, but have you ever wondered how these men and women learned how to turn back the clock and live as if it was the 18th century? In this Zoom discussion on April 24, you will have an opportunity to listen to several people, who have participated in Bidwell House Museum living history events in the past, explain how they got into the art of historical interpretation, talk about their love of history, and share what they do to prepare for these events.

Learn how reenactors prepare for their performances
