It has been suggested that a venue for Texas Civil War living historians be made available where participants may gather to talk, prepare for events, work on and/or seek help on projects, practice and/or learn new skills, exchange ideas, share information and research, develop impressions, and just enjoy each other’s company in an informal setting. Something beyond the reenactment environment and online communities—a living historian community center if you will.
Henkel Square in Round Top, Texas has agreed to host such a gathering. Henkel Square is fairly central for most in central Texas.The site includes a church and barn, which have electricity, air conditioning and heat; easy access to water; and plumbed toilet facilities. Although the gatherings are only single day events, the rest of the structures on the site are available for overnight stays as wanted. Meeting at Henkel Square will also serve to help the site meet their educational goals to maintain their non-profit status.
The Grange gatherings are open to all Civil War era living historians, women, men and children, regardless of impression.
