The Taste of History 2023

Over 2,500 people attended the first annual The Taste of History last weekend, and over 120 reenactors came from multiple states for this unique Military Living History Event!

• Revolutionary War
• Civil War
• WWI Homefront
• WWII GI
• WWII German POW
• WWII Homefront
• WWII USO
• Vietnam

Thank you to Military History Preservation Group (MHPG)! Thank you to over 120 reenactors who volunteered their time at this Military Living History event, many driving at a great distance from other states. Thank you to the planning committee and all the volunteers who made this event possible, in ways too many to list.
