Reenactor Night at the John Work House (Photos)

[Trench]

The John Work Home and property is in the early stages of restoration by Nathanael Logsdon. It is located in Charlestown, Indiana and was built C. 1811. On occasion, Nathanael will open the property and house to a group of reenactors to socialize. The day was HOT! It peaked around 105 degrees around 4pm. It didn't take long for the gathering to head down to the old mill creek to do some wading and swimming.

Sharing some homemade blackberry wine.

The shallows were actually quite warm.

We tried to corral some carp to no avail.

Found a nice, deep, cool pool to do some swimming.

The reenactor field.

Path up to house.

In the dining room enjoying some refreshments. The heat relaxed some of the period rules, as you can see. :wink:

Future blacksmith shop.

Path up to Silent Falls.

Trying for some fish-Video.

Making our way down the creek-Video.
