This week’s #WhatIsItWednesday object is a breas This week’s #WhatIsItWednesday object is a breastplate! From ancient times to the era of Samuel de Champlain, armor like this was used to protect the wearer’s torso in combat. However, it had become increasingly obsolete by the 18th century, and became largely decorative and symbolic. This breastplate is decorated with a floral border, with the keel featuring images of two knights on horseback and a winged figure holding a bow, possibly a depiction of Cupid.

Infectious disease plagued the armies of the 18th Infectious disease plagued the armies of the 18th century. The decision to fortify Ticonderoga in the summer of 1776 was in part a response not to the British, but an even more insidious viral enemy. Through extreme strategic distancing, the Continental Army was able to overcome one of its biggest enemies, in time to face the British...

When he was a young man George Washington copied d When he was a young man George Washington copied down a series of "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior." While many of these rules are still good guides for behaving politely, one in particularly struck us as particularly useful to remember in the current environment: "bedew no mans face with your Spittle." So take a tip from George, keep yourself and your neighbors healthy, remember to keep your distance, and when you do interact with people, say it, don't spray it! #fortticonderoga #ticonderogacollections #georgewashington #18thcentury #stayhealthy

This week’s #WhatIsItWednesday object is a gorge This week’s #WhatIsItWednesday object is a gorget! With origins stemming from medieval armor, by the 18th century gorgets like this were worn by officers in the British military as an ornamental mark of authority. The center of this gilded brass piece is engraved with the British royal coat of arms, along with the letters “GR” above, indicating "Georgius Rex," Latin for "King George," in this case probably George III." A number of the museum’s gorgets can be found among the 3000+ objects on our searchable online database! #TiconderogaCollections #fortticonderoga #18thcentury #history #armor #militaryhistory #medieval

This week’s #WhatIsItWednesday object is a green This week’s #WhatIsItWednesday object is a green painted leather infantry cap from around 1840! The MR on the cap plate and the green color suggest this cap belonging to a company called the Montgomery Rifles, a volunteer militia unit composed mostly of Irish descendants and a reference to Richard Montgomery, an Irishman who became the first American general killed in the Revolution. See this cap, and learn more about the life and legacy of Richard Montgomery in a special pop-up exhibit for this weekend’s Living History Event, "Proceed to Canada with all Possible Expedition"! #TiconderogaCollections #fortticonderoga #militaryhistory #militia #cap #hats #fashion #19thcentury #history
