About Me

My photo
The Modern Reenactor
I love history and I love to share that history--whether it's in my classroom, at an event, or here on my blog. I started this account to write articles about how living historians can do better at teaching, but also as a place for me to share my journey with experimental archaeology. So if you came here because you saw my article on how to make something, stay for the ride and learn more: dive deeper into the articles and enjoy! If you ever have a question, please don't hesitate to contact me by clicking on my blog and then filling in the "contact me" form.
