Learning about history is always fascinating, but there are some ways to do it that are much more engaging. Probably the best way is to go to a living-history museum, where you’re seeing everything happen in front of your eyes instead of just hearing about it. These are some of the best in the US, so check them out!
Colonial Williamsburg
Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia is the mecca for people who love historical reenactments, because they take it to the next level at Colonial Williamsburg. Not only are people dressed up, but they are really doing the work that people in colonial times would have been doing. The blacksmiths really blacksmith, the cooks cook, and so on. It’s so fun to go around to the different areas and visit the people working hard, and actually doing the work they talk to you about.
Old Salem
Winston Salem, North Carolina was founded in the 18th century by a Moravian community that immigrated from Europe. At the Old Salem Museums and Gardens, everything has gone back to the time when Winston Salem was first founded almost 300 years ago. Everyone is in traditional garb and the grounds are made to look just as they were hundreds of years ago, and they also do work similar to that of Colonial Williamsburg.
