The 159th Battle of Cedar Creek…#thebarefoothistorian #civilwar #reenactor #reenactment #virginia #sacrifice
Having too much fun in Gettysburg. I’m going to chalk it up to the sugar rush from a bowl of Mr. G’s Ice Cream.🤷🏻♀️😂
We had a great time this weekend—and @cc_skylight_gallery took some truly lovely images. That said, this one of our new friend Tim (who was also our neighbor on Sutler Row) made me laugh to no end and I think it might be my favorite. 😂😂 Victorians loved to be silly so as ridiculous as it seems to have modern outhouses in the shot, actually this is precisely the type of shenanigans that loads of Civil War soldiers would have endorsed. After all, when you see the horrors of war constantly, the least you can do is take every opportunity to have a good giggle. I think I shall enjoy this image for years to come! 😂😂 #thebarefoothistorian #gettysburg #civilwar #silly #friends #open #160thgettysburg #blacksmith #jokes #explore #bathroom #homeoffice #office

Favorite antique store find this week! I’ve wanted a chiming mantle clock for ages and this little guy chimes like it hasn’t been doing it for more than 120 years already! 🥰 this is my kind of Tick Tock 😂#Thebarefoothistorian #cc_skylight_gallery #clocksofinstagram #antique #time #beauty #old #face #chime
Making a half-mourning Civil War gown has been a labor of love and an exercise in maintaining sanity. Velvet is gorgeous but not the easiest material to work with. Half- mourning was period that had much fewer restrictions on the accessories and finishes allowed. Women in half-mourning were finding their feet again after up to two years in deep and normal mourning. I’m sure this gown will evolve—mine always do—but I fell in love when I found this fabric a year ago in Gettysburg and I couldn’t think of a more appropriate way to honor the time and the place.
4x5 done yesterday at our Carlisle Shoppe. The wind was absolutely whipping but this young soldier maintained complete stillness other than the hair blowing, which added a nice effect. We have uniforms and gear to fit all sizes and are happy to accommodate groups as well. This young lady fancied herself as a soldier, and we did not disappoint! Whole families can have such fun with this experience. Contact us to book an appointment or ask about a gift card for the history lover in your life. Tintype appointments make great Christmas gifts!
There are a few spots left for the ONLY paranormal overnight experience available this month in the Carlisle Theatre! We are providing all of the modern and historical ghost hunting equipment you’ll need—not only will you get the opportunity to wander around and communicate with the theatre’s most elusive residents, but you’ll also get to dive in-depth into victorian spiritualism. Exactly the type of evening that would have led to explosive arguments between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini! Reserve your spot ASAP—this event will not be coming back this month!
