Cook Forest Living History Weekend

Join us for a fun filled weekend of living history as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday as we journey through various historical eras of the United States: the French & Indian War, Colonial Period, Revolutionary War, and Civil War. Living historian and master story-teller Paul Stillman, historical interpreters Dave Clark and John King, and Grammy nominated singer-song writer-storyteller, Ray Owen, with special guest appearances from President Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin, will take us through noteworthy periods of American history through first person character portrayals, hands-on demonstrations, and song.
