On a park, so check whether actually on site or several miles away.
"Making Texan history come alive." Ask Simon if he's interested in this.
Interesting article re: re-enactments in Canada.
Rebuilt in Spain and sailed to the US in 1991. Now a floating travelling museum.

Interesting background to Battle of the Little Big Horn. The land has since been returned to the American Indians.
I had the fortune back in 2006 to meet and join Steve Shaw and his "Irregulars." I read an article about "Custer’s Ride to Glory" for the 130th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. The call for men to join a ride into history was too much for me to ignore. So I signed up, and am very glad I did. First of all, the adventure was very well organized. All details were carefully attended to. The wrangler was very professional and quite a character in his own right. The horses that were provided were strong, willing and well-trained. All the necessary tack and gear were available to those who needed. I didn't since I had brought my own McClellan saddle. The historical teachings about the people, places and events were presented in a fun and easy to understand format. The instructors were readily available for any question asked. Also, there were different points of view presented. Not only did we hear the government’s side but also the Indians side as presented by an Indian chief. Then there is the food. We ate from a chuck wagon right on the bank of the Little Big Horn. The chow was prepared in the fashion of the day and there was always plenty of it. After dinner some sort of entertainment was provided whether it was the wrangler playing the guitar and singing or an evening ride to watch the sunset or chase coyotes. The battle re-enactment was top notch. There were plenty of Indians to fight with and lots of gun smoke and dust and horses running everywhere to excite any cowboy of any age. No one got hurt. Sure there were a few sprains and strains but everyone watched out for everyone else. I met and have remained friends with a great bunch of guys. I plan to do this event again and hope to meet up with my partners that rode into history with me and the "Irregulars."
