A dear friend of mine recommended the American Heritage Festival to us this year. It is put on by the homeschoolers in the state and is a living history of different events in America. They had Revolutionary War soldiers, a pioneer school house, candle dipping, iron forging, WWII soldiers, Native Americans and so much more. They did reenactments of battles too. The girls don't really care for loud sounds so we moved on after the first ammunition exchange. They loved the pioneer school house and practiced writing quite a bit using the pen and ink well. In each "booth" there were people dressed in proper attire for their era and they were a living history who told all about their story and life. It was a great day and we spent probably two more hours there than I thought we would. We will definitely return next year and take Brian.
