This live-in takes place several times each year. Participants meet at the 1870 Norlands, load their gear into ox carts and travel on foot back in time a hundred years to the home of an early Livermore settler and live there for three days. Among characters to be role-played are a Minuteman, a member of Gen. Washington's Life Guards, a soldier who crossed the Delaware that cold December night in 1776, a member of Arnold's expedition to Quebec, a Revolutioner who served from Lexington to Yorktown, and other men and women who came to settle and tame the wilderness.
Meals are prepared on the hearth and in the brick oven.
All activities are based on early handwritten records and other primary sources.
