There are a number of historical reenactments done for the purpose of educating the public. They would like to show the people the events that took place at that time. These reenactments are made possible with the help of those who reenact the events.

Reenactment of historical figures and persons are also common. One of these is a Ben Franklin reenactor. He mimics how Benjamin Franklin walks, talks, and acts. There are also others who enjoy being a soldier, a war doctor, a medieval princess, and others.

Reenacting is a hobby that a lot of people enjoy. They call reenactments as living histories and would like to become part of it. A person should consider several things to be able to become a reenactor.

Any individual can be a reenactor. They could be ranging from the elderly to even little kids. However, the roles given to the children are pretty much limited. For the older generation, they could land a part of being a war veteran.

It is of great importance that an individual is healthy and in good condition physically, especially if he will be a part of a civil war reenactment. This type of presentation requires him to play an active role. Because civil war reenactments are done in open fields, changes in weather may affect his health. It may be raining at one point and very hot in another. He should also be prepared to live his life without technology as he will be depicting the past.

It will also be a good thing if a reenactor has a group of friends that share the same passion and the same hobby that he has. He will be able to ask for their opinion if he is displaying the correct persona of the person he is reenacting. Aside from that, they may also know other people who are into this hobby and they can share their historical knowledge with each other.

The clothes that reenactors wear are the same as those worn by people from the past, depending on who they are reenacting. For this, the actor should be financially ready as the costumes are expensive and can only be found on stores that display such attires. There are also other reenactors who are willing to share their extra costumes so the actor can ask for their help. Most of them would typically give a lending hand once they know that a person is interested in reenactments. The actor should do an extensive research so that he will be wearing those clothes that will make it an authentic experience.

Aside from the clothes, the actor should also have his kit ready. His kit would usually include items that are commonly attributed to being used by the character he is personifying. For Franklin, the kit would usually include a cane, an umbrella, and maybe a pair of eyeglasses.

When he already has the necessary things set, he will then have the chance to be part of a living history. Aside from that, he will also be gaining additional understanding of history from these events. Reenactments are truly serious yet fun events.
