So who are we?

Just a small group of country folks
near Texasville in Barbour County,
Alabama who have fallen in love with
living history and the smell of
blackpowder.  We limit our focus to
the years 1740-1840.

We meet at 2:00 p.m., the 3rd Sunday
of every month from August to May
and became"one with The People" in
January 2005.
