Historical reenactment events can be fun and profitable, as well as unique learning experiences. This book contains information about how to plan, organize, and host a historical reenactment event—one that could include armed engagements as well as civilian reenactment opportunities, encampments, military demonstrations, drills, contests, classes or other instruction, period music and dance, and other living history activities. The information in this manual is specific to hosting a Civil War reenactment because that is the type of reenactment event with which the authors each have more than a decade of experience. However, the same principles used to plan and host a Civil War reenactment can be adapted to fit a number of other historical reenactment events, such as Frontier Era, Long Hunters camp, Revolutionary War, Victorian Era, Gothic, Wild West, Medieval, Renaissance, Biblical era, Roaring Twenties, Prohibition, Spanish-American War, Mexican War, and more. Information includes: deciding on the type and duration of the event; when and where to hold your event; facilities and equipment you will need; safety issues; legal issues; dealing with volunteers and reenactors; types of event activities; registration; encampments; advertising and promotion; income and expenses; miscellaneous details; dealing with problems; wrapping up the event; and a short description of other types of reenactment events. Whether you have never hosted a reenactment event before or you are a seasoned event host, you can find useful information in the pages of this book that will help you with your next event.
