Is it just me ?

It is a fun project but a lot of work if not done for a specific purpose. So if you shoot period like that, are you going to use sepia? That is where the realism kicks in. I love the idea of ghosting the participants... after all, it is THAT time of year.

Or they could have moved on to greater things. Think positive!

A photo of an old barn and a photo of an old barn with a today person in period clothes two totally different things.
For me, the set piece thing is tiresome, but others I know like it.

Not me. To paraphrase Barry Fitzgerald in "The Quiet Man," when I shoot people, I shoot people; and when I shoot things, I shoot things. It's called "landscape" for a reason.
On a very slightly related note, Bob Ross, the TV painter with the red Afro, did not include people or signs of people in his nature paintings. There might be a cabin in the woods, but there was no smoke coming from the chimney.

And there wasn't anyone standing beside the "happy little tree".

Is it just me or do others want to see barn photos that include a person dressed for the time period or occasion? An old house with a person?
Landscape photos that include a person enjoying the view while also adding perspective?
I have an Oregon photo of a commercial building built in 1852, still doing business. It's nice but needs someone dressed accordingly, sitting on the bench in front of the store.

It is an artistic decision.
With your pemsission I can show you two images (from a shaker village) where I feel it works.
