Walk Back in Time Living History Event
The 8th Annual Walk Back in Time Living History event will be held in
Mexico, MO again on 25-27 September at the Audrain County Historical
Society grounds. This well established Living History Timeline
regularly attracts 12-15,000 visitors over the course of the weekend.
Mexico, MO is located centrally on the east side of Missouri, and is
about an hour from the Illinois border, 100 miles from St Louis, 160
miles to KC, and 250 miles to Des Moines.
The event features a living history timeline from the native American
times, to modern days. We will again have WWII displays and a battle.
We also are expanding the WWI section, with the possibility of a WWI
battle. This is an opportunity to do multiple impressions in
different time periods over the course of a weekend. This is a small
but tightly run event with good benefits, like clean showers and
a free dinner Saturday night for participants. We will also
do the ever popular reenactor's auction again this year, so bring an
item for donation to the sale. We are also looking for Korean war, and
Vietnam era reenactors and displays. Set up can occur as early as
Wednesday, and Friday is an educational day for local schools. The main
event is Saturday and Sunday.
The Audrain County Historical Society is located at 501 South Muldrow,
in Mexico, MO 65265. Space is very tight inside the timeline, so
reservations must be made in advance.
Open To The Public? Yes - Reservations Required for Participants
