Viking reenactment group in WV-MD-VA-PA area. -- myArmoury.com

Nathan Spence

After looking and looking and looking for a viking age reenactment group in the Eastern Panhandle of WV area and not finding anyone.

I am thinking of starting my own group. I am thinking we can get together for our own living history camp outs and also attend some "History through the ages" events.

If anyone has any suggestions or interest. Please post it here.

I guess I need to start a web site, and find another group to be affiliated with.

have you tried looking at the SCA?
they might have a group close to you.
i know that there is a big meet in PA every year, around august i think.
good luck with everything.

theres a large sca group out of martinsburg.

there are no wv viking groups. only reenacting medieval group is one in charleston that does roman, norman or hospitaler when they can.

Well I thought of the SCA thing, But I am really looking for a living history group.

Thanks for input though. Maybe I can go to some of the SCA meetings and sort of see if anyone else is
intersted in more of a serious living history thing.

I might have to start my own group but need some help with clothing patterns and the such.

I would also love to find a group that fights with blunt steel as well. I think that would be fun.
