NORTH AUGUSTA — Step back in time more than two centuries as the Living History Park’s 18th century village comes alive for the annual Colonial Times: A Day to Remember.

For more than 30 years, re-enactors have presented life as it was during the Colonial era. On Oct. 21, the park buzzed with activity on the first day of the two-day event.

People can interact with traders, bakers, potters, backwoodsmen, milliners and tavern keepers or watch demonstrations including blacksmithing woodworking, candle making and needle-working.

The park will open again from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 22.
