TAKING A TRIP BACK
TO THE 1800'S THIS
WEEKEND... THE
SIOUX CITY PUBLIC
MUSEUM OFFERED
A HISTORIC DISPLAY
OF WHAT LIFE WAS
LIKE DURING THE
LEWIS AND CLARK
EXPEDITION. KCAU
9'S KENNETH KROLL
BRINGS US WHY
THIS REENACTMENT
IS AN IMPORTANT
PART OF
SIOUXLAND'S
HISTORY...
"WELL THE
SERGEANT FLOYD
ENCAMPMENT IS AN
ANNUAL GATHERING
WHERE OUR
REENACTORS FROM
THE TRI-STATE GET
TOGETHER TO HAVE
A MEMORIAL FOR
SERGEANT FLOYD
AND OPEN OUR
CAMP TO THE
PUBLIC.
"ITS A TIME
CAPSULE, YOU CAN
STEP BACK INTO
1804 AND LEARN
ABOUT HISTORY.
WHEN I WAS IN
SCHOOL HISTORY
WAS NAMES, DATES,
PLACES. WE ARE
MORE INTERESTED
IN THE STORIES
BEHIND ALL THIS
HISTORY."
"HISTORY... DATES,
NO. YOU TEACH
PEOPLE, IT'S
EXCITING."
"I THINK MY
FAVORITE PART IS
THE SERGEANT
FLYOD MEMORIAL
ON SATURDAY
NIGHTS AND..... OUT
OF THE EVENTS
THATS MY
FAVORITE EVENT
BUT INTERACTING
WITH THE PUBLIC
AND TALKING
ABOUT HISTORY IS
MY FAVORITE
PART."
"COMRADERY WITH
THE PEOPLE THAT
ARE INVOLDED IN
THIS, THE
DISCUSSION AFTER
HOURS IN CAMP."
"IT'S AN EXCELLENT
TIME TO GET
TOGETHER AND
SHARE KNOWLEGE
WITH MY FELLOW
CHAPTER
MEMBERS."
"EACH ONE OF
THESE PEOPLE
DOES A
PHENOMENAL
AMOUT OF
RESEARCH"
"CAUSE WE ARE
TEACHING PEOPLE
WHAT LIFE WAS
REALLY LIKE, WHAT
REALLY HAPPENED."
"I WOULDN'T DO
THIS IF I WASN'T
HAVING ON HECK
OF A GOOD TIME."
"INSTILLING A BIT OF
A SPIRIT OF LIFE
LONG LEARNING,
YOU NEVER STOP."
"WELL I HOPE
PEOPLE TAKE HOME
AN APPRECIATION
OF HISTORY, A
BETTER
UNDERSTANDING
OF THE HISTORY OF
OUR AREA AND
REGION AND
HOPEFULLY THEY
GET ENCOURAGED
TO GO OUT AND
EXPLORE MORE
AND FIND OUT
MORE ABOUT OUR
NATURAL AND
HISTORICAL SITES
HERE IN IOWA."
