If you're interested, check the sailing schedule ahead of time - I think it is sailing to Ohio for a week or 2 sometime this summer, or, (if you're lucky) there are occasional day sails that the public can go on. Less than 2 hrs. from Erie is Cleveland where the art museum has a fine medieval collection and also home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. By taking I-80, you could get back to Pennsic probably in 2 and a half hours. (I'm guessing on that one, as it's been years since I took that route.) Is this your first Pennsic? Be warned - once you get there, you may not want to leave to go anywhere else!

We will be hiring a car in Pittburgh and travelling around before we go to the SCA's Pennsic War. The area of travel is influenced by where friends live. We hope to get to Plimoth and Jamestown reenactment villages but are looking for other places of interest to see - historical or costume-related, but not as late period as the Civil War.

Re: [h-cost] visiting eastern USA - recommendations of things to see? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED
Welcome to America!?? If you are planning to visit Jamestown, Williamsburg (colonial capital of Virginia) is right next door and Yorktown (British surrender) just a few miles away.? They call it the Historic Triangle.? Virginia Beach has an outdoor drama about the First Landing (before they got to Jamestown) this summer.? That is about an hour east of? Williamsburg, on the coast.? From what I've read, performances depend on weather (it's on the beach) and security (it's on Fort Story).?? Richmond is about an hour west of Williamsburg.? If you want to go a little further south, Manteo, North Carolina has the outdoor drama "Lost Colony" about the settlement that disappeared a few years before Jamestown. ? If you want SCA references, Jamestown/Williamsburg/Yorktown are in the Barony of Tir-y-don and Virginia Beach is in the Barony of Marinus.? Enjoy your stay and have fun at Pennsic!? Wish we were going this year. Sigh.?
