| Miss Vicki Betts, Scherrer Cabin, Henkel Square 2008 |
The Henkel Square event is a semi-immersion,
civilian-centered event in Round Top, Texas. The aim of the event is to enable participants to experience a semi-immersion
Civil War event in Texas. The nature of the event interaction will be largely unscripted and unpredictable, allowing all participants
to react in character as events naturally unfold.
Participants develop impressions such as the town doctor, lawyer,
business owner, an itinerant worker, or a family down on their luck, and develop detailed backgrounds for these impressions.
Henkel
Square is a nationally recognized authentic restoration of Anglo-American and German-American 19th Century culture and was
created to preserve and perpetuate an authentic representation of local Texas life as it was in the 19th Century. The participants
of the Henkel Square event have full access to and live in the original, furnished structures located on the site and experience
life in Civil War era Texas.
