Featuring Living Historians (Re-enactors) from several different era's, and camps set up for you to walk through, see, smell, ask questions, and learn about that period!
Located in the Stewart Jones Historic Preservation Area, These Living Historians will be taking time out of their busy schedules to come out and set up, make sure you make a visit to their camp and interactive Displays. There will be firing demonstrations, and maybe a skirmish or two!

NEW
for 2013  The
1921 West Virginia Coal War The week-long Miners' march and Battle of Blair Mountain, a culmination of decades of strife in the coalfields of WV, had more men under arms than at the pivotal battle of Trenton during the American Revolution, although most Americans outside of WV have never heard of it. We want to encourage students to come and experience (as much as they can) the sights, smells, tastes, and feeling of both the armed miners and the Logan County Defenders, and to understand their reasons for taking up arms. |
