My eighth grade history teacher did something similar.
During the F&I war lessons, he had two re-enactors he knew come in. They were dressed in full period dress, complete with weapons. One had a PA rifle and the other had a Brown Bess.
Our teacher brought a Brown Bess in again during the Revolutionary War lessons. He also brought in a Henry, a Spencer, and a '51 Colt Navy for the Civil War lessons.
For the rest of High School, history was still my favorite subject.
