The North Carolina Museum of History presented the community
with a taste of colonial times on Saturday 27 September. Over 2400 visitors
that day learned period games, dancing, quilting and crafts such as butter
churning, wood carving, and corn grinding. Militia drills and colonial music
added to the fun.

My family and I presented "The Family War," and I
sold books just outside the gift shop. Representatives attended from
organizations and sites all over the state: the Sixth North Carolina Regiment
reenactors, Yates Mill County Park, Tryon Palace, and state historic sites such
as Brunswick Town and Historic Edenton. I'll be working with the museum again
in March 2009: a presentation for National Women's History Month. I look
forward to it.

I'm playing catch-up this week with my blog entries.
