Female RE-Enactors of Distinction (FREED)
Saturday, June 18 - 8:00 pm & Sunday, June 19 - 8:00 pm
The Female RE-Enactors of Distinction is a group of ladies who desire to teach American history that perhaps has been forgotten or overlooked by the public educational system, the theatre and motion picture industry, and many social organizations around the country.
It is the mission of FREED to educate the public and to promote the accomplishments of the African American Civil War Soldiers and the women who supported their fight for freedom. We engage in re-enactments, dramatic readings, and various other educational programs in order to share the stories of these distinguished men and women
