We love living history... Samuel & Ginnese have both been involved in 1800's living history thru years of participating in Rendezvous, Native American pow-wows, & Civil War reenactments... They have lived out of different sizes of teepees, primitive lodges & a log cabin tree house... Both Samuel & Ginnese hunt, tan hides, create leather wears, & have spent time living in the wilderness tapping into primitive skills from our countries forefathers... As well as spending time in Alaska studying the native culture & lifestyle... Both have been engaged in youth camp & are true pioneers when it comes to actually living what they teach...
LOOK... LISTEN... TOUCH... INTERACT... LEARN... ASK...GROW... So much of our American history is lost or just plain untrue... Thru interaction we hope to show students of all ages just how exciting history can be when your right there in the middle of it... and in the center of a growing Frontier Settlement...
