We Made History

We Made History Our presidential living historians
are more than re-enactors. We bring history to life! We are serious portrayers of U.S. Presidents and First Ladies.

We have taken countless hours of study and research about these people from the past and have created an interpretation that captures the essence of their individual personalities. We look at the totality of their lives and the times in which they lived and are not bound by modern-day political correctness or revisionist history. These Presidents and First Ladies had very exciting lives without embellishing a moment! Our troupe members reside in northeastern Ohio but can make arrangements to travel to other locations. Our past experiences include teaching, community theater, and providing interpretation, education, and research at the national presidential site in Mentor, Ohio. We put our story-telling techniques to use in presenting programs in a most engaging and thought-provoking manner. Re-enactment & historical performances are tailored to your group’s interests and requirements, including photo opportunities and informal interactions. Most programs are 40-minutes long, followed by a question-and-answer session. However, we’ve been known to stroll at community events and local eateries, all in the name of educating the public about the Presidents and First Ladies. Our presidential living historians have brought history to life for schools, historical societies, Civil War Roundtables, Civil War battlefield dedication, civic groups, libraries, ladies’ and men’s organizations, church groups, local public television shows, Garfield Family Reunions (current generations), and parades. Browse here to see some dates, locations and information of past performances. We alter the performances of our historical re-enactments according to our audience needs and interests.

So proud to keep history alive!

Our George Washington, aka Dale Fellows, was part of the Ottawa County (OH) Purple Heart Society presentation at the Liberty Aviation Museum on Friday, August 7, 2026. He spoke about the Badge of Military Merit - the precursor to the Purple Heart Medal, the oldest award still given today.

While the original badge honored general military merit and bravery, the revived modern medal was redirected to specifically recognize members of the U.S. military who are wounded or killed by enemy action.

Sunday Salutations:

"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain."

~ 36th US President Lyndon B. Johnson, who signed the Wilderness Act on September 3, 1964 - protecting nine million acres of federal land.

During the same ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, President Johnson also signed the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act.
