Summary
Saturday November 1 was bright and a little chilly, perfect for the reenactment. RJ Basista and his friends, including younger reenactors and a woman and daughter for the first time described life on the frontier for a steady stream of guests. It was an educational experience for all. PLHS is very grateful for RJ's continued support.
Women Were on the Frontier Too
