Reenactor

"Tom, aren't you a LARPer?" "No! I'm a World War II reenactor! Stop calling me that!"

Seventy-one-year-old Union reenactor Leo Vaughan, who is African-American, said he has ancestors who fought in the Civil War, but on the Confederate side.

So we stare instead at a long dining tables with their collections of silver and porcelain and wander through restored kitchens full of re-enactors doing things to whole pigs.
