I picked up this really cool mouse pad in the gift shop at the Fort. I am using it right now!

Here are two videos of the Reenactment [I tried (for days) to upload one nine-minute, thirty-nine-second video to youtube, but the website would not allow it so I had to split the footage into two parts] ...

  1. Lovely work Living historians/reenactors are the backbone of any historic site. They present history in a way that engages visitors of every age. We will be collecting photos and stories from living historians/reenactors to be included in a book called "Fort Mifflin Memories." Profit from the sales of the publication will be donated to the Olde Fort Mifflin Historical Society to further the hobby that for decades has "Brought History to Life at Fort Mifflin" email us at thefmhs@gmail.com if you would like to be part of the project

  3. Hi, Michael,

    I love your re-enactment photos of Fr. Mifflin, and wondered if it would be possible to use them -- with a credit line to you -- in an upcoming issue of the Society Hill Reporter in Philadelphia.

    Can you get back to me on this? murfman1@comcast.net
