CRAFTS

A society is only as great as the people that help build it and a re-enactment society is no different. Each member is encouraged to pursue their interests to help bring their connection with history even closer. Fair warning, once you start a craft, your friends and family will end up hearing all about it! Click some of the photos below to learn more.
