Arming Up For Battle

On Saturday, May 17th at 2pm, Jamie LaBreck and Patrick Kelly will give a special presentation on “Arming Up for Battle” in the Middle Ages at Castlerock Museum in Alma, Wisconsin.

The program will start with a brief discussion of the evolution of armor, followed by a demonstration of how a man-at-arms of the 1400’s would get into his harness. Afterwards, there will be a fighting demonstration in the museum courtyard, weather permitting.

Jamie LaBreck is a museum volunteer and reenactor with an interest in medieval warfare. Patrick Kelly is a fellow volunteer and reenactor who also works as a cutler at Arms and Armor in Minneapolis.

Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for students. Museum members receive a 50% discount. Castlerock Museum will be open at 1pm for visitors that would like to see the exhibits beforehand.
