The National Rendezvous and Living History Foundation (NRLHF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which holds rendezvous across the United States for the period between 1640 and 1840 AD, or roughly during the heyday of the North American fur trade.
The NRLHF was formed by the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association in December 1998 and incorporated in March 1999.
The reason behind the Foundation's formation was to put the management of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association's various regional rendezvous in the hands of those who attended the events.
The four officers are elected to their position by the Council of Delegates every year during the annual board meeting at the Eastern Primitive Rendezvous.
Currently, the NRLHF manages five-week-long regional primitive rendezvous and one specialized weekend event.
