“A Most Remarkable Family Collection of Arms”

A part of our Good Stories About Great Stuff lecture series. Join us every Monday at 1:00 in the Hennage Auditorium to hear the stories behind some of Colonial Williamsburg's treasures directly from our experts.

Did you ever wonder where Colonial Williamsburg found so many 18th c. military arms? One particular group of muskets, bayonets, & swords came from the walls of a magnificent English mansion, where they were displayed from the 1750s until right after WWII. Join Erik Goldstein, our senior curator of mechanical arts, metals, & numismatics, to explore how they survived the centuries and came into the Foundation’s collection.
