The main theme of our business is the mid-18th century (1730-1770).  However, we cover all Black Powder
pursuits as well.  We also have an extensive research
library, and are available f or consultation in the
development of historic personas.

Missy Van Dam has a degree in American Textile History, and Larry Clark is a gunsmith and master machinist.

We are serious re-enactors!  Our products are well
researched and documented when possible.  We sell
nothing we would not want to own ourselves. Together...we cover all aspects of the domestic history of this period.

As re-enactor sutlers, we travel up and down the Eastern United States camping in our store...cooking out back, with music at night.  We're out there...we are one of you!  As a matter of fact, we average attendance at 25 events a year, so we'll most likely be running into you "down the road".

We thank you very much for stopping by...at our
website...and at our tent during re-enactments.  You're always welcome, and we consider you a new friend!
