Reenactor Chronicles

Here is the up-to-date list of 2026 events I've been able to verify as of Dec. 1.

Reenactor and middle school history teacher Kyle von Kamp was honored Tuesday by the Ohio Board of Education as the District 2 Teacher of the Year. He received his award during a ceremony in Columbus, Ohio, largely for his hands-on method of teaching eight-graders about the American Revolution. Instead of solely teaching dates and history from a textbook, von Kamp brings history to life at the Willard Revolutionary War Encampment and Reenactment.

Here's the first list of living history events for 2026.

Here is the final list for events that run through the end of 2025.

Ramey Israel has been a blacksmith for 15 years. He established his business soon after being introduced to reenacting.
