1930′s – New Deal Festival, Arthurdale, WV. July 10-12
Arthurdale Heritage and the New Deal Festival planning committee would like to invite living history hobbyists and reenactors to dress up in their 1930s “Sunday best” and come out to the New Deal Festival in Arthurdale, WV on July 10, 2010.
We’re looking for any New Deal era impression you might be interested in portraying. Arthurdale was the first New Deal Homestead community in the nation and home to farmers, craftspeople, builders, factory workers, miners and more. As a federal project, there were also federal employees, teachers, and planners. It was also visited often by politicians and reporters because of its connection to the New Deal legislation. Not to be forgotten are the families – mothers, fathers, children, grandparents and grandchildren. This is a unique opportunity for a peacetime impression from a unique period of our history!
We hope that you can come to Arthurdale, July 10 and help us celebrate the New Deal. If you are interested or have questions, please let us know!

We are desperately looking for Civil War re-enactors to do a Living History on Oct. 10 @ 10am at the Steiger House, 120N. Main St. Mercersburg PA to commemorate Stuart’s 1862 raid and to raise awareness about the William Squire Smith House circa 1730s, a national landmark where the first resistance to British Rule took place. The Steiger House is several doors down from the Smith House which was recently purchased by the fire dept. to be razed so a parking lot can be made. Please call Tim McCown or Karen Ramsburg for details 717-498-0364 or send us an email if you can help us.
