Sun 1 Jun - Sun 7 Sep New England Colonial Living History Group

Details: We are an Early 18th century Living History Group, our activities include: Historical Trekking, Experimental Archaeology, Period Living Skills, Primitive Wilderness Survival Skills.
We are a non-profit group dedicated to keeping pioneer skills alive, through 18th century living history and experimental archaeology.
At present we are looking for new members to join our group.
Our main period of interest is 1700-1760 in the New World. Our main activity is Historical Trekking, that is hiking and camping 18th century style. We only use original items or copies of 17thc.-18thc. Items, including clothing and equipment. Our campfires are lit using flint, steel and tinderbox or fire-bow. Our food is roasted or boiled in a period trade cook kettle, which is small enough to fit in our knapsacks. We don't usually carry period tents, except when we attend Living History Rendezvous, because they are too heavy. Instead we carry period oil cloth and build our shelter on-site.
If you are looking to make new friends, or looking for a hobby, interested in history or primitive skills or wilderness survival, or just looking for something to do on weekends or for something the whole family can participate in, then our group could be just what you are looking for.
We have regular meetings on the first Sunday of each month.
