One of the most exciting things that have happened for students of history and the general public in recent years is the creation of living history museums. In these museums, people live and work the way they did in that area in the past, assuming the roles of real settlers. Visitors to a living museum often get a more real sense of the time by observing and interacting with the personnel than they would have by just viewing displays of artifacts or homes. It has occurred to us that students might create a living museum, on a much smaller scale of course, in which they would assume the roles of historical characters.
