Utilizing over 50 cumulative years of Public Interaction, the Living Historians of the Crewe of the Archangel offer historical preservation through educational entertainment. Our mission's focus attempts to clarify the myths and reality surrounding the Golden Age of Pyracy in ways that are memorable and thought provoking.
To present a complete experience, Crewe members recreate personalities from the late 17th and early 18th century, incorporating historical dress, accoutrement & activities appropriate to the time. Encampments, displays and live demonstration further intrigue audiences.
