Greetings! I just found this discussion board whilst doing research on regency re-enacting. I hope to be able to contribute to the discussions contained herein in an informative and entertaining manner.
My husband and I mainly do 1790s re-enacting. We are historic interpreters and board members for a 1790s-era house. Besides getting to have fun at the historic house, we also enjoy traveling to outside re-enacting events as well.
My main interests pertaining to era (besides clothing) include cooking and baking. At the historic house, I get to teach cooking classes in our era-orignal kitchen. I'm also working on creating a cookbook that contains original receipts and the modern equivalent recipes. My latest endeavour has been learning to bake in a beehive bake oven that the volunteers built at the historic house. Hopefully, next year I will be ready to teach beehive bake oven classes as well.
At the historic house, we also grow heritage vegetables from the era and keep dominique chickens (a popular breed from the time). We try to keep the house as close to a working farm from the 1790s that we can, so visitors can better experience the time period.
We have been expanding our research and interpretations at the historic house to include not only the late 18th century, but early 19th century as well. I hope to learn more about this time period from the board. I also hope to be able to share my own knowledge as well. I look forward to reading everyone's posts. Good day to all!

I'll be there on Nov. 6 & 7 for the soldier encampment and we'll be giving holiday candlelight tours on Nov. 21. The holiday tours are an especially nice time to come.
