History Expo at the Allentown Heritage Center & Museum

The Saturday of 4/09/11 I went to Allentown, PA for the history expo at the Heritage Center & Museum on W. Walnut St. There were two Civil War camp displays, one Colonial display and a Native American display plus numerous other displays of various periods while inside the building there were tables of books and other media for sale.

I spoke with a gentleman at one of the Civil War camps named Barry who is a member of the 8th Georgia Co.A Civil War reenactment group who lives in Walnutport, PA. Barry is a reenactor, historian and lecturer on the period and after explaining the goal of our group, he offered to help us any way he could. I hope to get in touch with Barry and see what he has in mind.

The previous Saturday I was on the road putting up a flyer at Dixon's Muzzleloading Shop in Kempton, PA where I met a local gentleman who had an interest in the group.
