Unless the project is presented in a way that can be entertaining as well as educational, there is no way this will make it in the US. The bottom line would be tourism, not education. I’d love for this project to be revived, but I don’t think there is much hope unless more people learn about it. I’ve known about Guedelon since 2009, yet I had never heard of this project.

Unfortunately, this project has been on hold since January 2012 in hope that someone new will take on the project. The Ozark Medieval Fortress was run by the same people who run Guédelon Castle. I thought it would be interesting if someone tried doing this in the US, but was unaware that there was indeed such a project: The Ozark Medieval Fortress in Lead Hill, Arkansas.
