The museum that I work for had a Civil War encampment last weekend. Our museum is complete with a mid 19th century village with interpreters in upstate New York which works well for this. I had stopped reenacting years ago when in the military and had always wanted to come back to it but life had other plans. I did follow my dreams after retiring and started working or volunteering at museums. I had felt that I might have gotten to old to reenact until I went through the encampment and had some great conversations with the soldiers. They were explaining to me about their "progressive" unit and gave me a card with contact information if I was interested. I have my musket and some leather but have to replace my uniform. I have the winter to get my impression together so I've decided to get the best I can afford. NJ Sekela looks like a great place, any other suggestions?
