Washington on the Brazos! (Reenactment)

Hi all, here are pictures of the reenactment that took place on March 2-3 at the Washington on the Brazos historical site.

Here, this woman is weaving quilts using only materials and tools used during the 1800s. The clothes she was  wearing were pretty thick; it must of been really hot. (especially with 80-90 degrees weather)

There was not a  full battle reenactment, but they did talk about a few major battles and the different equipment used, such as the cannon shown in the picture. There were 4 or 5 cannons on the site in total. They also shot each of the cannons several times in a demonstration.

There were many tents like these throughout the area. Almost all of the reenactors had a one to stay in.   

These are pots that they used to make food.  The reenactors didn't say what they were cooking, but I would have loved to try it.

This is the blacksmith creating horseshoes and other decorative items out of lead. As with the woman making the quilt, the blacksmith only used the tools and materials of the 1800s.
