We are an inclusive and fun family-friendly group! We have two annual meetings about the group’s activities for the year, we have annual work days to keep our equipment in pristine condition, and we have fun ad-hoc social gatherings.

Interface with the general public in full 1860’s period attire and persona to answer questions so people can see how life was and the different ways people at that time did things from quilt making to washing clothes. We explore how often strict gender roles were at the time and responsibilities were divided in the home.

We march in Rochester area parades to promote our group and raise awareness and funds for future events.

Similar to our Living Histories events, we also partner with local school districts to engage children with history in an impactful way. Our presence and stories light up their imaginations and inspire them to learn more about the past.
