What to Expect

• 1.You'll see living history reenactors performing military drills and medical demonstrations across Greenmead Historical Park in Livonia, Michigan. Take your time wandering between stations to catch each demonstration up close.
• 2.The crowd is usually family friendly but can get crowded around popular displays. Arrive early to secure good sightlines and consider bringing a small chair or blanket if you want to sit.
• 3.Food options on site may be limited, so bring water and snacks and check if vendors will be there on the day.
• 4.The event runs from 10:00 to 16:00 and involves a fair amount of walking on grass and uneven paths, so wear comfortable shoes and check the weather for layering.
• 5.First timers should pick up a schedule from volunteers or signage, ask questions during the demos, and avoid blocking lines so others can view.
