Welcome!

We are the Historical Citizens Association, a group of living historians dedicated to portraying authentic citizens of the past. Our main area of focus is the American Civil War, as we feel that the average citizen of that decade is under-represented at living history events.

When at a Civil War Reenactment or Living History Event, our members portray 'residents' of a town who happen to either reside &/or operate an establishment located on Oak Street.

We also enjoy portraying other eras, such as the 18th, early 19th (Regency/Empire), late 19th ("Late Victorian"), and early 20th centuries and attend these other Era's Living History events as our respective schedules permit.

Our group is comprised of a number of individuals throughout Southern CA.


This discussion list is for the following:

*Event planning & preparations between group members; and
*Open dialog/research dissemination regarding civilian/non-combatant daily lives & livelihoods; living history portrayals, and costuming/clothing of specific eras.


General Guidelines:

*Please keep posts on topic (within reason) =)
*Sign your name to your posts (Real Name, and, if applicable, Character Name)
*Keep posts polite & clean. Please no bashing.
