Our primary period of interest is the mid-19th Century, especially the American Civil War. We give living history demonstrations, educational talks to schools, Scouts, and other youth organizations. We work with area museums, parks, and historical sites in clean-up activities, fund raisers, and preservation efforts. The N.A.H.E.A. is open to anyone interested in teaching and learning about history and historical preservation. Besides being tax deductible, we have no paid staff.
All work is done by volunteers.
It is all the better that the war was fought, even though our cause went down in defeat. The struggle left a heritage of brave deeds, a history of heroic endurance, of fidelity to country and home and fireside for the whole American nation, North and South to cherish.
