The Shire of Caer Gwyn is a Medieval and Renaissance historical reenactment group exploring the arts and skills of the pre-modern world. We are a local branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) located in Urbana-Champaign, but with connections to many other SCA groups throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, and Asia. Our group is a blend of townies and college students, since the focal town of our area is Champaign-Urbana, home to the University of Illinois. We have an active student organization on campus as well as many townsfolk who attend our many activities.
