How To Become a Reenactor

Historical reenactment is a strange, fun, and educational hobby! But the question remains, and it's a one that I get asked very often, how do you actually become a reenactor? What are the requirements? Do you need to have any sort of training or be a certain age? Where do you get the uniform, and how much does it cost? All of that and much, much more in this video!

This video was produced in support of The Native Oak: https://www.nativeoak.org/
