Re-enactors wanted to Educate Youth!

[shenson23]

Greetings to each and everyone of you. My name is Scott Henson, I am a History teacher and co-sponsor of the History Club at Northern Nash High School in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. We are a primarily urban school that is located in a suburban setting. This is the first year of our History club and we are trying to expose the kids to things that they would otherwise not have access to. I would love to get a couple units to come to our school and demonstrate life during the civil war. We have a perfect place for an encampment that is a wooded setting with a large open grassy area. The school is located just 3 minutes off of Interstate 95 about 135 miles from Richmond, Virginia. It is my understanding that there is a large re-enactment taking place to honor the anniversary of Spotslyvania and I would love it if I could get some units that may be headed to that event to stop by for our event. If anyone is interested, please email me at mshenson@nrms.k12.nc.us with your location of origin, and dates that you would be available. If anyone has any information about units in my area, please reply to this posting. I appreciate your help with this and I look forward to hearing from you! Huzzah!

Tentative Dates for the Muster would be April 30th-May 1st (a Thursday-Friday)
