1. Comfortable, warm clothing - enough for two full days.  Flat shoes or boots, a sweater, durable jeans, extra socks and underwear, etc.
    
2. Part of the Program involves performing chores; please do not pack "Sunday Best" clothing, because it will get soiled.
    
3. Modernism's such as make-up and most costume jewelry (earrings, nail polish, necklaces, etc.) is inappropriate and should be left at home.  Participants will be asked to remove anything, which conflicts with the Program's goal of immersion in a Living History environment.
