Fort Sumter Group

[SideRoads]

Two days away from completing a 6 week volunteer assignment which turned into 4 months,,,,,,,for our first volunteer experience.

The last two days are shaping up to be as good as the first day....and,,,have yet to get tired of this volunteer experience,,,,but all good things must come to an end.

We head to Fort Sumter, South Carolina on Monday for a 2 month volunteer commitment which includes Ft Sumter National Monument, Fort Moultrie National Historic Site, and the Charles Pinckney Historic Site.

This sure has been a great summer. The history and folk lore brings the historic buildings and landmarks to life. What an experience this is turning out to be.

Looks like SC will provide a lot of access to history, including the Hunley,,,,it sure is great to be an ole dude, but yet still find something to be excited about.

Hope everyone is have a rewarding summer,,,,as we look beyond Sumter, to Big Bend, and Palo Duro,,,,there seems to be no end to the opportunities available at historic locations.....

Now to decide where to look beyond Palo Duro Canyon.

Just a question, do the Civil War sites (such as FT. Sumter) have a need for a Civil War reenactor in a Volunteer position? Thanks, Dan (2nd Va. Co. D)

Dan,

After I get to Sumter, I'll let you know.

Some volunteer positions use historic reenactors in their interpretive programs, such as dressing in time period clothing.

A search for civil war reenactors may provide results.
