Welcome! You've arrived at the Home page for the Shire of Granite Mountain, a group in the Society for Creative Anachronism. We are an historical re-enactment group located in the Prescott , Arizona area. we cover the area of Chino Valley, Arizona, Prescott Valley, Arizona portions of the Verde Valley and, of course, Prescott, Arizona

The SCA covers a large period in history, Pre 17th Century, roughly covering the Medieval period and the Rennaissance. We particularly focus on the European cultures but there is a growing community of those interested in other parts of the world as it was Known during this time period. The Mongol culture, Chinese, Japanese, Persian, Turkish - just about any country that was known to the European community.

Although SCA members work very hard to reproduce the clothing, furnishings, tools, art, food and lifestyle of their period of choice, all that we require is a sincere effort on the participants part. We know that not every person has the skills or resources to perfectly reproduce an earlier lifestyle. Part of the fun is learning and doing as we go along.

In these pages you will find a wonderland of medieval and rennaissance information. We will tell you about fighting in armour, dancing with zils behind a veil, the pleasures of courtly love and pickled eggs, illumination and calligraphy, Knights, Ladies, Kings and Queens, farthingales and bumrolls, Bards and Heralds and all manner of marvelous things!
