Re-creation of Whiting History
Thursday, August 5 through

was very different from our current world.

by. We will have three full days of exciting
activities
and experiences. Put this on your calendar now!
We ask that everyone plan, if at all
possible,
to:
volunteer a couple hours
of your time

through the Sunday church service
dress in
period costume
(anything found in the Red Whiting Book)
arrive
and set up

the Homestead. Stragglers
are welcome!

Whiting
Village
Back by popular request will be the Whiting
Village. The Village will be a re-creation of Whiting history
- similar in intent as to what you might find at Colonial Williamsburg,
Historic Kirtland or Old Deseret Village. From the written
and verbal histories of our progenitors, we have compiled enough
information to be able to re-create the atmosphere and
activities that were commonplace to earlier generations.
With
your help, we hope to have many of the following
attractions and
activities. But it really
depends on you!
