How to Join the New Plimmoth Gard

---

Reenacting is a way to present a time period and or a personality based  on the underlying history. You do not need to immediately know all the  details of the time period or personage. Part of the hobby is building  the story.  

Any adult with an interest in history, early military practices, or  early colonial settlements. We welcome both men and women. Women can  choose to play the role of a man. 

There is a one-time $50 join-up fee when your membership becomes official. Insurance costs approximately $35 per year. An outfit could cost as low as $200 or higher depending on your tastes, sewing and bargain hunting skills.

To lower initial cost you can start as a Pikeman. We have the  Pikes (a long spear) and perform a historical drill for weapons  handling.

We are based in Plymouth Massachusetts but have members from all over New England and New York. We look for events in southeast Massachusetts, but can go farther afield based on member consensus.
