Summery of are time at the historical reenactment Are time at the historical reenactment was a learning experience. We got to find out facts that we would have never known. We also got to see what kind of places they lived in. Some of the stations we got to see what things they used. We also got to see what kinds of food they eat. I got to see how they lived not how we live. It was a very fun time.
