​LIVING HISTORY
field trips

We love living history...

 We love living history...
​Samuel & Ginnese have both been involved
​in 1800's living history thru years of participating in R
endezvous, 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...
