Remember when astronomy was taught in schools? No? Well then if you ever find yourself transported back in time, you will have very little chance of finding out when you are. In Mark Twain's classic, the main character places his temporal location by noting an upcoming eclipse. Which he uses to gain power. Because ...Yankee.
How to Commemorate
Find an upcoming eclipse (*cough* August *cough*).
Plan how to return to the future if stranded in the past. (There are many methods but, admittedly, this type of story relies on finding something wrong to set right. A la Quantum Leap.)
Sit at a round table. And send people on quests.
