| Annual Living History & Reenactment Weekend at Mumford, New York'Home of the Genesee Country Village and Museum'July 17-19, 2009 |
Come back in time to the pristine Genesee Country Village in the southwest corner of Monroe county. Hear the sound of the fifes and drums as you partake in a weekend filled with memories just waiting to be made. Allow us to be your hosts for this unique experience. Battle through the streets of one of the largest authentically restored historic villages in America, containing over fifty fully furnished shops, schools, churches and houses. Civilians will also enjoy interacting in this picturesque setting. A variety of activities plus musical entertainment on Saturday night will make this a weekend to remember. Registration is limited, so why not take this opportunity to be our guest and make some memories of your own.
We have not chosen a specific battle scenario this year instead we've taken a Lincoln Bi-centennial inspired theme. Neither military will be occupying the historic village this year, instead the civilians will! Yes that's right, the museum is letting us occupy several of the buildings this year. We also hope to have mounted cavalry and a pie auction. The dawn tactical is back Sunday morning. Both military camps have been expanded. This will not be your same old same old Mumford so why not come out and give it a try. See you in July!
