This is only one link from

http://www.gather.com/

but the following sounds encouraging:

"A group for historical reenactors of all time periods to share informaion, resources and experiences."

The group is at

http://histreenactment.gather.com/

and several groups are returned in searches for such terms as arts, crafts, costumes, hats, and combinations of such terms.

The main group page is at

http://www.gather.com/groups.action

but you may have to scroll down to see the search box specifically for groups. The one at the upper right is probably the search box for the entire site.

You're probably already familiar with
