Welcome to the Canton of Appleholm, the Manhattan chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, an organization dedicated to exploring life before 1600 by re-creating activities and crafts of the period. There are tournaments and classes, feasts and finery (and occasional foolery), royal courts and country dancing. We encourage you to come and find out what interests you!
Learn more about our group and find out how to participate or contact us with any questions.
