ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Historical reenactment

Historical reenactment is when people dress up in old-fashioned clothes and act out events from a long time ago! People who do this are really interested in history and want to experience what it was like to live in a different time. They might recreate battles from the past or show how people used to live by making food, doing crafts, and using tools that they would have had back in those days.

Think of it like playing pretend or dress-up, but with a really cool historical twist! So, instead of dressing up like a princess or superhero, people dress up like knights or soldiers from hundreds of years ago. It’s like going back in time and getting to see history come to life right in front of you!
