Back in the 1860's....

On Sunday we went on a family outing to a local event on the Fort Vancouver Reserve, where they recreated a baseball game from back in the 1860's, complete with their heavy wool uniforms, ladies walking around in their big frilly dresses with parasols, and a live band playing music. People just sat on the grass around the baseball diamond which was really rather large. The bases were really far apart. And the players played without gloves back then, so that was interesting! We took a picnic and had a great time!

Batter up!



Back then a baseball game was no reason to dress down!


I am pretty sure the girls were more interested in their lollipops than the game!
