I took my toddler to the 18th Century - Living History Tips and Tricks for young families
In this episode of the I Love Muzzleloading Podcast, I talk with my wife Paisley about our first family living history experience, what we learned and what we plan on doing to improve our impression and equipment for next time. Paisley and I have day-tripped to events since we were dating but things never lined up with work to become participants at an event, that all changed this year where we are planning on being out almost 10 weekends in 2024.
We aren't professionals by any means and we are still learning, but we wanted to share some of the planning we did to do our best to make sure we, and our toddler had a great time in the 18th century.
There are a lot of conversations going on right now about attendance at living history events, both from participants and the public. I hope this kind of conversation and the accompanying videos related to this discussion show you how easy and affordable it can be to get involved in a living history event. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better way to spend the weekend outdoors with friends.
