The SCA-Shire of Shattered Oaks II

Welcome to the Current Middle Ages!

The SCA, or Society for Creative Anachronism, is an educational history group devoted to living "the Middle Ages as they were meant to be." A living history group with groups scattered world wide, the SCA includes opportunities to learn about the past by doing. Anything they did in the middle ages, someone in the SCA does as well! Learn to sew your own historic garb, to weave, to forge metal, to fight like a knight, to sing period songs, to cook and eat peroid food, and many more exciting activities!

The campus group meets with the local group, the Shire of Shattered Oaks, every Sunday at 7:00 at 414 North Farwell Street. the doors open at 6:30, so come early and meet the crew! If you are worried about transportation, don't be. Drop us a line, and we will find a way to get you there! The more the merrier!

Directions from campus:

Bike trail: Follow trail towards the down town area away from campus. When you reach the railroad bridge, cross the river and follow the trail until you reach Farwell St. Turn left, and cross US 12 as is comes down the hill. 414 is the second building on the left.
