Heritage Days - Galesburg, Illinois - August, 2004
 
Galesburg, Illinois, was the first reenactment we attended as a group. We did not camp over-night, nor did we set up a particular impression. Rather, we observed others, gathered information, enjoyed "dinner on the grounds," and hosted an impromptu sing-along.
