Suffragists Wanted!
If you have been interested in joining the Mourning Society or getting involved in reenacting / historical clothing now is a great time to get started! The years between the end of World War I and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment are a great jumping off point and we have a ton of events coming up this year celebrating 100 years of women winning the right to vote. We need ladies and gentleman to fill our ranks. Even if you don't feel comfortable with a speaking part, having you with us cheering, signing and joining in really makes our events better. There are no membership fees to join and we have guides to help you create your interpretation. Visit our FAQ or Contact Us for more information.
