Description

Welcome to Pan Zagloba's favorite tavern! We are dedicated to studying and recreating the glorious and tumultuous 17th C. when the Commonwealth was a great power. Join our hussars, cossacks, dragoons, artillery; and great ladies and sturdy peasants: we love 'em all! Please join the conversation.
P.S. Pan Zagloba is a sometimes-inebriated hero of With Fire Sword, Potop(’Deluge’)and the other classics by Nobel laureate, Henryk Sienkiewicz.

P.P.S. See group pictures in Photos/Event Photos- Living History/MTA. The Commonwealth included most territory of the modern states of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, and Belarus.
