Virtual Fort Fever Series: Brace Yourself with Holsters

The Fort Ticonderoga Fort Fever Series features presentations by Fort Ticonderoga staff.

While holsters are commonly imagined as a personal accoutrement, their origin and reality in the long 18th century was part of saddlery. Join Fort Ticonderoga Vice President of Public History Stuart Lilie to explore the common details of 18th-century holsters and their rapid evolution on the eve of the Revolutionary War.

Your participation in this online program supports Fort Ticonderoga’s mission to preserve, educate, and provoke an active discussion about the past and its importance to present and future generations.
