Write now I'm in grad school studying modern American cultural and intellectual history, specifically Asian American and queer history. I grew up in New York though and there are all sorts of living history museums for the colonial period dotted across the state. Not to mention the women's history museum up at Seneca Falls where they do reenactments, but of courss all that is way too early for me.
My brother is working on his degree on Viking Age Iceland though and does reenactments and fairs with his friends all the time. He's slowly but surely putting together his costumes. Which is taking a while because he wants to make as much of it has he can himself and is basically teaching himself how to sew in the process.

Very impressive stuff.
