Historic Person Re-enactor

The FamilySearch Center seeks volunteer re-enactors for a Carrie Murray Nature Center Friday Night Hike in Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park. Hikers begin by visiting the FamilySearch table to explore their roots and connect to generations past. They then take a self-guided twilight walk on the park’s historic trails, where re-enactors will bring to life the voices and stories of those laid to rest more than a century ago. Volunteer re-enactors may choose historic figures to portray from a list of people who lived in the area in the 19th century. We'll provide details of their stories. Re-enactors must come in simple costumes to create an 1800's atmosphere, and tell their historic person's story in first-person.
