• Winter Moccasins
Facebook, 11am
Native American moccasins were used by Canadians and French soldiers as footwear for winter travel, like the March 1757 French Raid on Fort William Henry. See the process for recreating these simple deerskin shoes today and how you can make your own.
• 60 Leagues on Snowshoes
Facebook, 1pm
How did 1,500 soldiers, Canadian Milice, and native warriors march from Canada to Fort William Henry in the winter of 1757? Explore the time tested techniques of moving and camping along the great warpaths of the north country in deep snow and along frozen lakes.
• Scaling Ladders
Facebook, 3pm
If you can’t batter a fort wall down…climb over it! Join us live on Facebook as we build a scaling ladder rung by rung. See how three-piece scaling ladders were built at Carillon in the hopes of climbing over the log walls of Fort William Henry using the winter season for surprise.
