Society for Creative Anachronism
Started more than 50 years ago, the Society has been a collection of people from all walks of life interested in all aspects of historical study. This site will give you a brief glimpse of all of the different activities one might run across at a typical event.
The Middle Kingdom
The Middle Kingdom is the third oldest kingdom in The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Our great kingdom encompasses Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and parts of Kentucky and Iowa. The SCA is structured into Larger regions called Kingdoms, sub-regions, Branches called Baronies, and then Chapters called Cantons or Shires. The Middle Kingdom is our over all Regional area that we are in. This website is a huge trove of information and a ton to explore.
