The Historic Powhatan School of the Lady is a school for ladies interested in re-enacting the mid-19th century. In two and a half days, it covers subjects that engage all levels of living history, from beginners to experienced, and teaches participants about all aspects of life that pertains to women including, etiquette, sewing techniques, cooking, history, music, personal hygiene and more. The school emphasizes the accurate portrayal of these aspects during a living history encampment. Our goals include not only the sharing of knowledge between ladies, but the formation of friendships by socializing in a near total immersion environment. This school will help the novices and the seasoned “veterans” expand and improve their impressions. There is always room for improvement for each and everyone! Isn't that part of the fun? $75.00 registration fee includes 7 meals, High Tea, supplies for all projects, notebook of materials. $25.00 of the registration fee is non-refundable.
