I love going to a historical site and finding volunteers or docents dressed in appropriate fashions, well educated on their topic, and ready to take people on a tour. That's 'living history' or experiencing yesterday today.
THE GRAND ENCAMPMENT. https://thegrandencampment.com/ specializes in military re-enactment.
They do battle reenactments, have vintage vehicles and aircraft, and dance at the victory canteen to a 1940's era Big Band orchestra. Over 500 people participate as actors and behind the scenes. Let them entertain you and educate you. The entrance fee is very reasonable; $10 for adults, $5 for children, group rates, and they have military. vet, and first responder discounts...
Coming up in mid October is one near Riverside, that's Southern California.
