So much of history is obvious only on close examination. My father did Civil War recreation when I was little. I've done Renaissance faires. I live near an Amish community. There are all these little details that make more sense when you can see things up close, touch them, try them out.
Last historic event I went to had a spoon collector. She had one with a nearly S-shaped handle and invited everyone to try it and say whether it was right-handed or left-handed. Most folks had an opinion, but not all the same, and we didn't hold it the same way either.
