The detail for this week’s #WhatIsItWednesday comes from a drum! Most likely dating to after the American Revolution, this snare drum is painted olive green and decorated with a depiction of an eagle and stars below a banner which reads “Sons of Liberty”, a reference to the famed group of activists that protested against British-imposed measures in Colonial America through actions such as the Boston Tea Party. The design of the eagle itself, shielded and clutching arrows and a flag in its talons, is a variation on the Great Seal of the United States, a symbol which was not adopted until 1782. This object is currently on display in our Mars Education Center for the new exhibit “A Well Regulated Militia: Citizen, Soldier, and State”, and can also be found on our online database through the link in bio⬆️! #TiconderogaCollections #fortticonderoga #ticonderoga #18thcentury #19thcentury #history #museum #museumcollection #drum #music #militia #eagle

This week’s #WhatIsItWednesday object is a painting! Titled “Capture of Fort Ticonderoga” and attributed to Alonzo Chappel, this mid-19th century painting depicts a dramatized view of the capture of Fort Ticonderoga on May 10, 1775. Ethan Allen is seen on the left (anachronistically wearing a Continental uniform), demanding the surrender of the Fort from Captain William Delaplace, seen on the right in his nightclothes with his wife. Despite the many historical inaccuracies of this work, it was widely reproduced in engravings and book illustrations in the 19th and 20th centuries, shaping public perception of the Fort’s capture. More images and information on this painting can be found through the link in bio ⬆️#Ticonderogacollections #fortticonderoga #ticonderoga #19thcentury #18thcentury #history #painting #museum #museumcollection #militaryhistory #ethanallen #benedictarnold #americanrevolution #revolutionarywar #fort #noquarter

This week’s #WhatIsItWednesday object is a pistol! This Scottish highland pistol belonged to a member of the 42nd Regiment of Foot, also known as the Royal Highland Regiment, as evidenced by the engraving of “RHR” on the top of the barrel. Commonly known as the Black Watch, this unit famously served in the failed British attack on Fort Carillon in 1758, and suffered devastating losses as a result, though this pistol postdates the battle. This object, as well as other firearms and swords, have recently been photographed, and can be seen both in our online database in the link in bio ⬆️ and on exhibit in “Beyond Bullets and Blades” located in the South Barracks, which will be opening this Saturday! #TiconderogaCollections #fortticonderoga #ticonderoga #18thcentury #history #museum #museumcollection #scotland #highlands #blackwatch #42ndroyalhighland #militaryhistory #pistol #steel #frenchandindianwar #highlander #scottish
