If you were to poll those currently in the King's Own, you would receive numerous and disparate reasons as to why they are members. To learn about history... To travel to great places... To stay on the grounds of historic sites... To hang with friends and family... Ultimately, you will find your own reasons.

A few of our favorite reasons include:

• Learning about history through actions and not just books. We are living history.
• Gaining the Crown's perspective on the American Revolution.
• Interacting with the public and teaching future generations about our past.
• Providing a public service while enjoying a great hobby.
• Entering the great family of reenactors for both the colonial and British side. We have all formed many lifelong friendships.
• We look so cool!
• Getting on TV. It happens surprisingly often, and we are akin to thespians (and awfully vain…).
• Getting out of the house, traveling, exercising, meeting people, and having tons of fun. Due to the roles we play, we get to see places, engage in activities, and meet interesting people. Often in circumstances that others will never experience.
