We Make History
Proudly Presents
The American Heritage Festival
The American Heritage
Festival is a grand scale
educational presentation of diverse
civilian and military aspects of historic American life as portrayed by a large
and experienced cast of historical interpreters assembled from
around the country.
Included are reenactments, dramatic portrayals of famous men and women,
musicians, song, dance, colonists, pioneers, mountain men, and more
ranging from Colonial times, the American Revolution and the Founding Fathers, through Frontier and Pioneer days, the Civil War, the Old West and on
into the 20th Century. An 18th century style
church service in the fields based on the "Great Awakening" is just
one of the many special features. Historic men, women and children are
portrayed in diverse roles with something of interest to all. Historic merchants offer a
unique and fascinating shopping experience.
Presented each November by We Make History and held at Schnepf Farms of Queen Creek, Arizona, the American Heritage Festival is by far the largest living history event to take place in The Southwest. Don't miss out on this unique, creative, interactive and family friendly educational opportunity for all ages.

Along the way the American heritage Festival has supported...
... Samaritan's Purse in their work of offering direct material help to the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
... the Queen Creek Schools Education Foundation, an organization devoted to supporting education through scholarships, teacher's grants and creative opportunities for learning. Funds donated were used specifically to support American History related education.
... underwriting support for local schools.
Ongoing and future community service will involve direct educational support and historic preservation.
We can make a difference
. We can give. We can support the efforts of those who are working to have a positive impact in our society and culture.
We found the experience of the American Heritage Festival this weekend past to be one of great triumph! We thoroughly enjoyed exploring our American History from it's most early infant days all the way through to the Vietnam War. We reward the efforts of your group with our praise and high regard. I was most moved, as I have been before, and it has rekindled a desire for further acquaintance and acceptance to hopefully become part of a group such as yours. We hope to continue with more correspondence and to attend future events! Well done!!! Sincerely, Miss Rebecca P.
