Who are we?

The Society for Creative Anachronism is a nonprofit, educational group devoted to recreating the Middle Ages in the present time. The Barony of Highland Foorde, a local branch of this society, encompasses Frederick, Washington, Allegany, and Garrett counties in the beautiful rolling foothills of central Maryland's Blue Ridge mountains. Our SCA branch name, Highland Foorde, derives from these foothills and from the fast-flowing Potomac River that borders our Barony to the south.

Educational Demonstrations

Living history demonstrations are offered by the Barony of Highland Foorde for your school, church, or club. Topics include various aspects of daily medieval life as well as martial activities such as armored combat. Various arts & crafts pertaining to medieval life are also available. We ask that you allow a minimum of 6 weeks lead time for all demonstrations. Please send an e-mail to either of our demo coordinators: Madeleine Bynortheweye or Livia of Ravenswode

On Saturday, June 6, 2009, at Hagerstown City Park in Hagerstown MD, the Barony of Highland Foorde hosted Highland River Melees and Baronial Investiture. This year's event marked the 10th anniversary of Highland Foorde's status as a Barony.

After a week of rain every day, the skies cleared overnight, revealing a beautiful blue sky with perfect weather to add to the special day. A gentle breeze wafted through from time to time, and the temperature was fantastic.
