Living History Day

Hi All,

We had another Living History Day on Saturday. Lots more people in period costumes helping visitors understand what life was like here in 1564.

Here we are 452 years ago.


Herb and Marilyn were protecting the Visitor Center!

Here's Sandy with the Jen Hughes, wife of the Superintendent.

Meet Lauren and Taylor, the Superintendent's adorable daughters.

Jonathan in Civil War garb and Jim as a 16th century settler.

Eight musketeers from the Son's of the American Revolution were on hand. We had lots of visitors up in the fort watching from a safe place.

Once again we burned lots of black powder in the park cannons. When a container ship cruised past we fired two cannons and a volley of musket fire. The ship signified her surrender with a long blast of her horn!
It was great fun helping visitors get a sense of what life was like here at Fort Caroline. Hopefully, we'll get to do this every month.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
