| Living History
is where people portray (interpret) the role of actual or
typical historic persons through dress, mannerisms and
speech, tools and equipment, personal effects and the
like. It includes portrayal by individuals or groups of
actual events or typical every day living. There are many living history groups around the country and the world. Some focus on the Civil War, others on the colonial period, or other periods of local or national interest. You can get access to on-line sites by visiting the living history web page of The History Channel. |

era. Dressed in authentic costumes, White Oak
Society members communicate history by
demonstrating the actual working and living
conditions of the time.
