A "twist" on re-enacting
Our little town here on the NW Florida coast has a history back to the early 19th century and was a "playground" for some pirates and other unsavory characters.
So, some of us who didn't want to do the Civil War thing got together and formed a "town militia" of the mid-1850s period.
Costumes are period costumes for this area. Our firearms are also period, meaning they range from cap & ball Colts, Enfields, and Remingtons, etc, back to Tower, 2nd model Brown Bess, Charleville, etc.
Every summer during our pirate festival we "defend the city"!
We even have two carronades!!
