What is Living History?

Living history is an activity that incorporates historical tools, activities and dress into an interactive presentation that seeks to give observers and participants a sense of stepping back in time. Although it does not necessarily seek to reenact a specific event in history, living history is similar to, and sometimes incorporates, historical reenactment. Living history is an educational medium used by living history museums, historic sites, heritage interpreters, schools and historical reenactment groups to educate the public or their own members in particular areas of history, such as clothing styles, pastimes and handicrafts, or to simply convey a sense of the everyday life of a certain period in history. – Wikipedia​

The Vermont Living History Expo is held annually at the Champlain Valley Exposition, 105 Pearl St, Essex Junction, VT 05452. For the best lodging rates, contact Baymont by Wyndham Essex Burlington Area or Days Inn by Wyndham Colchester Burlington and let them know you’re attending the Vermont Living History Expo.
