Re enactors mark 225th anniversary with Clark era site
The Bowman Company re enactors in Vienna Illinois kept some modern comforts such as ice coolers and SUVs while presenting authentic gear. They staged a June 30 camp in Vienna City Park and later dedication ceremonies at Forman and Goreville with DAR leaders and local officials. The 225th Anniversary Re Creation was funded by humanities councils and NEH with NWTA and local DAR chapters co sponsoring.
