On January 26 at 7pm, enjoy the first evening program of the year! Join Fort Ticonderoga Vice President of Public History Stuart Lilie for “Brace Yourself with Holsters” which explores the common details of 18th-century holsters and their rapid evolution on the eve of the Revolutionary War.
“Though the term 'holster' evokes Saturday morning TV westerns, holsters have deep roots in the earliest days of cavalrymen using firearms on horseback,” said Fort Ticonderoga Vice President of Public History Stuart Lilie. “This program explores the 18th-century European terminology, construction, and decoration of holsters, as well as their evolution contemporary to Fort Ticonderoga's epic story.”
