Have you ever dressed up as a historical figure?

When I was growing up, I had a teacher who would sometimes dress up the part, and I thought it was great. At the bare minimum, he always had a tie or shirt directly tied to his lesson for the day. I have a Napoleon outfit in my Amazon cart, with a gift card ready to go. I think today might be the day I make the leap from the teacher wearing a brown jacket to the teacher who sometimes dresses in costume.

    When I taught American History we invented Martin Van Buren Day.  I basically just shave my beard to mutton chops.   I didn't think anything of it but twice in the last few years "kids" who are now in their 30's have come up to me and told me that was one of their fondest memories from middle school.
