Living History is the reenactment of times past via the reproduction of daily living and the activities therein, including wars, games, faires, artisans, first-person interpretations, through historic research, period garb, and the use of an era's common tools and objects. It is used as both a means of educating others and remembering the times in which our ancestors lived. (Thanks to the editors of Recreation/Living History for providing this description.)
