Dean's Co'y Continental Marines 

As our guest, you'll enjoy reenacting right along with us, right from the beginning. We're a family-friendly unit (if our pictures didn't already tell you that) located in the Midwest. Our reenactments occur primarily in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. If you'd like to spend a weekend in the spring/ summer/ fall with us, we'd be happy to have you! In fact, we're always thrilled to host new recruits, whether you want to be a soldier or camp follower. We will lend you 18th century clothing, dishes, and a tent (where you can hide modern-day items like coolers). Camping and staying the evening isn't necessary (though a good deal of fun). We have many members that come out during the day only, so if you're interested in history but not all that into camping, you can still get into reenacting! Our unit's food policy is $10 per person (or $25 per family), and that includes breakfast and lunch both Saturday and Sunday, as well as dinner Saturday. In other words, coming out for a weekend and giving this a try is very affordable. Contact us at [email protected] and we'll make this happen.
