A friend send me you note looking for ideas. I work at historic fort snelling in the summer. It’s open from the begging of May until late October. If you have never been there it is an 1820s (early Minnesota history) Living history museum.

Employees are dressed and play the roles of many early characters including soldiers, officers, Indians, riverboat men, fur traders (and a few more). All the people there are very good at delivering their message about what their life is like in the early 1800s along the mississippi) and they do it as the character they portray. Consider a visit. Bring a camera and do some interviews of the past.
