| LHR Membership Membership is open to
re-enactors of all eras. We’re interested in any and
all historical periods. From the Renaissance to World War
II or any time in between, we’d be glad to have you
join us.
If you’re not reenacting now but
think you’d like to, we can help you get started.
We’d be glad to help you make those important first
decisions on which era you’d like to reenact and
what kind of persona to portray.
Membership
If you would like to join us, the fee is $12 per person
per year.

Re-enactors Inc.
Who are Living History Re-enactors?
We're people like you! People that find American
History interesting and important. Re-enactors come
from all walks of life. We're young, we're old.
We're married, we're single. We have families, or
maybe not. We're postmen, doctors, seamstresses,
mechanics, homemakers, educators... you name it!
What do Re-enactors do?
Well, like the name implies, many of us are
"re-enactors" who like to dress in
"period" costume and participate in events that
give the feel of what life was like in the "good ole
days" and we like to demonstrate that early life for
visitors at our events. BUT DON'T YOU GET THE IDEA
THAT'S ALL WE DO! We also give our time for many
things of historic value. We've cleaned up a Civil
War veteran's grave site, cleared weeds and made
campsites at Fort Bellefontaine Park. We have a
"black powder" shooting match and demo. We hold
an annual "Historic Item" auction and help out
at Old St. Ferdinand Shrine and are presently working on
building an old fashioned "bread oven" for the
Shrine to conduct demonstrations and raise funds.
And some of us go to schools & libraries to give
presentations for the children's enjoyment and learning.
When & Where do Re-enactors
meet?
Besides our annual events & our special projects, we meet at the
Jamestown Bluff Branch Library located in Florissant, MO,
on the third Wednesday of each month.
Why do Re-enactors do what they do?
We love our American history. We enjoy helping others
understand our American history. We want to preserve our
local, state & national history, including buildings,
books, tools... well... ANYTHING of historic value!
And How do Re-enactors do all these
things?
We get involved. Not just by dressin' up in funny
old clothing. We help our community and we
participate in local events, like the Valley of Flowers
Festival, in bi-state events, such as other group's
Rendezvous or encampments, and in national events, like
the upcoming anniversary of the Lewis & Clark
Expedition.
That's what Living History Re-enactors
is about... You can participate at any level you
like! Bring your own knowledge, background,
experience or expertise to help out. Work on most
any area of American history. Build a
"persona" based on your own family heritage or
ethnic origin. Be a thinker... a planner... (a good
stout back to help build the bread oven wouldn't
hurt). You aren't required to dress up in funny
clothes and re-enact anything!... But I bet you
eventually WILL. Because, like the old Mountain Men
would say... You're sure to have a SHININ' TIME!
Thanks for taking the time to visit
with us!
