It also might be helpful to your quest to mention that there IS a difference
between re-enactments and living histories.  Reenactments are generally held
to re-create a specific battle or other event, while living histories are
primarily re-creations of a specific period in history, be it Civil War,
colonial craftsmen, Old West, etc etc etc.  Unless your museum or visitor's
center is focused around a specific event, a living history weekend with
demonstrations, etc. would probably be more appropriate than to pick a Civil
War battle or such and attempt to re-create it hundreds or thousands of miles
from the actual site of said event.
