Muzzleblasts at the Feast of the Hunter's Moon 2019

It was a beautiful weekend for living history at the 2019 Feast of the Hunter’s Moon in Lafayette, Indiana.

With an expected 40,000 visitors from the public, the TCHA put on another wonderful event this year. All weekend we saw bright smiling faces from the reenactors and visitors as they explored Fort Quiatenon grounds and traveled back in time to the mid-1700’s.

If you’d like to learn more about the event, or get involved, check out their website

We’d like to extend a special thank you to the TCHA for allowing us to come in to film and photograph at their event.

A beautiful weekend for Living History at KohKohMah and Foster 2019

Reenactors and attendees alike had beautiful weather this past weekend at Kohkohmah and Foster near Kokomo, Indiana!

On Friday the event had almost 1800 school children attend, we love seeing events like Kohkohmah work hard to bring in children and give them first-hand learning experiences!
