Taste of History 2025

🎉 Taste of History 2025 Recap 🎉

What an incredible weekend! Nearly 5,000 people came out to experience history brought to life by more than 300 reenactors from across the U.S. and Canada. Visitors traveled through time from the Hundred Years War (1337–1453) all the way to the present day.

📜 From static displays and battle demonstrations to authentic field kitchens, guests engaged every sense—seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting history. Field kitchens competed in categories for Best Taste, People’s Choice, and Overall Champion—including one presented by active-duty soldiers from the Ohio Army National Guard!

🥇 Congratulations to our 2025 Champions:

  • Overall Champion – Revolutionary War, 13th Virginia

  • Best Taste – Revolutionary War, 13th Virginia

  • People’s Choice – WWII Field Kitchen, Tri-State Living History Association

  • Best Display – WWII Okinawa, Midwest Raiders & 4th Marines Re-enacted and 165 Infantry Regiment, 27th Infantry Division

  • Reenactor’s Choice – WWII Okinawa, Midwest Raiders & 4th Marines Re-enacted and 165 Infantry Regiment, 27th Infantry Division
