The KHTI’s main purpose is to develop and maintain an event site which can be used by historical re-enactment and related groups within California.  Our primary event site is centrally located at the Yosemite foothills, between the cities of Merced and Mariposa, off of Route 140.

The KHTI was incorporated in the State of California in 1993 as a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation with the original goal of raising money for purchasing and improving land for use by medieval re-creation groups.  We were able to purchase our primary site in 2016, and have been shifting our focus from exclusively fundraising with the goal of purchasing land parcels, to the development of our primary site, as a property which can be rented for historical re-enactment events by our local communities, as our primary focus.  The solicitation and management of these assets is overseen by a Board of Directors, who are known formally and collectively as Kingdom Historical Trust, Inc. or KHTI.  Some of us still call ourselves the Land Fund; because that’s what we are.

The KHTI is the immediate descendant of what used to be the “West Kingdom Land Fund” which was started in the early 1970’s, in what later became the Society for Creative Anachronism, or as it is  more commonly known, the “SCA”, Inc.  While the KHTI still has a very close relationship with the SCA, it is a legally distinct and separate organization.  We welcome site rentals from any of the related communities or anyone who is interested in renting a lovely property for a historical event at some time in the future!
