At Fort Atkinson, Nebraska. Every month, they have living history demonstrations from May to October, in which 50+ people put on the clothes from that era and transport back into the 1820s. In addition to people demonstrating craft work and the Indian agent, military re-enactors interpret the activities of the Sixth Regiment of United States Infantry and First Regiment of United States Riflemen.
