Join the Institute’s museum and library staff to explore firearms used by the American, British, French and Spanish forces during the American Revolution. This program will allow guests to view various examples from our museum collections up close, as well as accompanying military manuals and treatises from our library collections that illuminate the construction, use and intellectual history of firearms. Examples of firearms that will be displayed include a 1756 British long-land pattern Brown Bess musket, a 1766 French Charleville musket, a 1757 Spanish flintlock musket and other unique firearms.

This program will be held in-person only. Registration is limited and will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.
