Great post and photos. Thank you for taking the time. I would be there today if I was not 1,182 miles away.
Take a drive to Saratoga Springs Military Museum for more great military displays. As a bonus theres a great Irish Pub across the street!More uniforms, and a few pistols including a nice pair of brass barreled English.View attachment 100811View attachment 100812View attachment 100813View attachment 100814View attachment 100815
Thanks for posting those photos. Great pics. I am in Eastern MA and its been 30 years since I have been there. Need to get out there and check it out. I know they have really expanded over the years ,hearing from others that have gone recently. Now I am motivated and fall is a great time to go.
enjoyed it , yes it is a great place to go with the family. I go and participate in the 1830's militia muster. ALLEN ECKERT, who put the event on lets us have a period meal in the tavern. as said it doesn't get much better!As @deermanok said, if you are in the area check it out, it is a good take. Almost all the trades are represented in working shops, tin maker, hooper, blacksmith, shoe maker, cabinetry, saw mill, grist mill, etc. They host a large Revolutionary War event each year, typically in August and have another smaller, 1820/30s militia muster once a year as well. I shot a little video footage, if I toss something together I'll put a link in the thread as well. Hope you enjoyed the photos
the place is a time travel, back in to the 1820-1830's. it is a NEW ENGLAND TREASURE!!I was there about two weeks ago. Richard Colton was demonstrating making a fowler. He was very informative and his fowler was well constructed and light. The blacksmith was very good too! He was making box joint pliers and they were excellent.
