David Emerson makes his living by being a character. For
over 30 years, David has worked at living history museums as an
independent storyteller, teaching history through the eyes of a
"person of the past." He is a veteran of Colonial Williamsburg,
Plimoth Plantation, Morristown National
Historical Park, and the Old Barracks Museum. As an Irish Shannachie,
David is known for tales that are so convincing “you can almost smell the
peat.” David holds a BA in Philosophy from SUNY Oswego, with additional
study at Alvescot College, Oxford and the
College of William and Mary.
View two of David's video projects:
His appearance as Sergeant Matthew Smith in Light A Candle Films' "Battle of Bunker Hill"
(2009). David is the chap in the green coat and the striped waistcoat
with the New England dialect.
and as George Washington in New Jersey Network's "Ten
Crucial Days."
We are located Central Burlington County, NJ and Lower Bucks County,
