Summer 2023: Interpreting history in Annapolis Royal once again

It was wonderful to be asked again this summer to act as a roving historical interpreter for the town of Annapolis Royal, reflecting dress that might have been seen here in the 18th century particularly, and sharing the deep history of this place with visitors and townspeople alike. 

I and my husband will appear in town, mostly from about noon onward (weather permitting), three or four times a week, sometimes together.  

Our first appearance this year will be on Canada Day, July 1st, at and around the festivities in the centre of town -- fingers crossed for a sunny day! 

​So, out will come my Canada Day dress (ca.1867, the year of Canada's confederation), in all its white and red glory, which has been packed away since 2017.   

The original French ca.1866 design upon which my replica (at right) was designed.

If you happen to be passing our way or spending some time in the Annapolis Royal area this summer, do come by and say hello!  I'll be hard to miss in my historical garb of one type or another -- here are a few examples of what you might see me wearing, and some photos of us in our role as historical interpreters: ​
