COMING SOON IN 2005! While we started in 2003 we have never had the funds to afford all we wished to do with the society so it fell dormant.
Then came a change in fortune and we now have all the funding needed to do as we wished. We are building a Medieval Manor on a 3.2 acre spread in Bozeman Montana. It will include a Greathall for around 150+ people and be a 30 x 40 foot main hall with a 34 foot ceiling. 3, 25 foot long greattables and a 14 foot high table built onto a platform. The manor being built is a period timberframe with a large courtyard and 11 foot high walls surrounding the courtyard. The courtyard is entered by a drawbridge and portcullis and the Chapel and Tavern are reached within the Courtyard.
Yes we are including a Tavern for about 25-40 extra guests and the chapel is for accuracy of the manor. Is it period to include a Tavern? No but it does add to the enjoyment of events. We have a area for parking that can handle hundreds of cars.
How can we afford it? Ebay...seriously and our retail store High Noon Sports. We have made more money in this year than we have in the last 15 years!!!
Whats to come? In 2005 we will have a true medieval manor, in 2006 we will add on more outbuildings, a barn for the Horse project and some "peasant" cottages that can be used for guest sleepovers or as storage sheds for our mundane items (lawnmowers,ect).
