What Living History Vacations are available in the Eastern States?|108677

Im looking for a vacation about a week long (ish) that has a historical element, preferably living history. It doesn_t have to be suitable for families though I dont mind if it is. I_ve looked into Colonial Williamsburg and plimoth plantation, but I am trying to find something that require participation. This would be the first week in September. Anyone got any ideas?

Near Richmond, Va is a place that allows you to become a Civil War solider for a few days. That sounds like what you are looking for. The ones you mentioned are great but as you say they don_t allow participation. You could join a Civil War re-enactors group and do a battle scene. How about the Cumberland Gap area where there is a group that does Living History. Perhaps you could become part of their group for a week. Yorktown had a group of Revolutionary war soldiers holding a show. These are all ones I_ve seen myself. There is an old time encampment each year near Piqua, Ohio. Out west, you can join a wagon train or a dude ranch.
