The Outremer Society is an academically based study and living history group. 

We do do this by "reenacting life of this period of time", by dressing and recreating the methodology and practices of people from the 11th to 13th centuries. We recreate these lost skills and promote their continued study in our modern age.

A free national group we do this also through medieval feasts and planned events. By having open workshops, where you can use a forge, or do period pottery in an outdoor kiln. By teaching weekly and monthly classes in assorted topics and holding workshops for people to work on projects.

How
    We provide classes, workspace and instruction of period skills aimed at the modern hobbyist. The Outremer Society has huge resources locally to medievalists seeking a richer period experience into their areas of study.

Other Medievalists MSR/SCA/Markland/LARPS/ETC...

We welcome all reenactor groups and all people to enjoy our little slice of the dream. For those in the SCA look at the Outremer Society as a focused group of personas living in a crusader city near Silverkeep. We are a friendly independent palatinate aimed at mutual goals with each-other.

Mundanely we are looking for more as medievalists, seeking to concentrate our energies to period reenactment. Creating a more authentic experience by basing our reenactment on an actual place and time in history. This allows interwoven persona stories and context to our reenactment. 

We also want more local medieval events. Our goal is to hold at least Two major events, and 12-24 minor events per year. (2016 will have one event and 6 minor events at least as planned.) If that can't be done, that's fine. Local groups can do as they like, to the level of commitment comfortable to them.

How can we do it? Money, we have a greater budget of the local medievalist group and don't have to answer to a national group limiting a group/shire to just a few events a year. As everyone knows that's not how it was in period, and our interests are fostering period medievalism as it was in the 11th-13th century..

No offense to any national groups but we are doing something different and unique that is not meant to challenge or disrupt any activities in our hobby. We will do our best not to hold events that are concurrent with planned SCA activities in Montana, as we strive to create more events in Montana not lessen them.
