Living History/European is the reenactment of times past on or near the continent of Europe, via the reenactment of daily living and its activities;games, faires, artisans, duels and combat, first-person interpretations, and so on - through historic research, period garb, and use of an era's common tools and objects. Living History is used to educate others and to remember the good and bad times of our ancestors.
