Sandra,

If you want to learn more about history-through-performance, the best
organization for you to contact is the Association for Living Historical
Farms and Museums. This organization is over twenty years old, and it has
promoted the use of living history (or performance if you wish) at museums
for its entire existence. In fact, it was formed to assist in the
development of living history farms across the United States. It now
encompasses all types of museums that are interested in living history
interpretation.
