Midwest Great War Living History Association

WHAT IS LIVING HISTORY?

Living history is recreation of a historical time period, place or situation through impression and reenactment. Enthusiasts recreate historical uniforms, equipment, mannerisms and situations to further their understanding of history.

The Midwest Great War Living History Association is dedicated to educating people about World War I by creating impressions of World War I-era soldiers, people and events.

MGWLHA members participate in civic and educational activities in period impressions, and participate in field excursions and re-enactments designed to heighten our understanding of World War I.
