Army Trades Weekend at Saratoga Battlefield

Yesterday my friend Barb and I went to Army Trades Weekend at Saratoga Battlefield. Here are some photos I took.

Marshall Scheetz, the cooper, shows how he makes casks.




Shaun Pekar, the shoemaker, works the tools of his trade.


The tailor works on a continental soldier uniform (finished product above).


The tailor's tools.

Two seamstresses enjoy the view.

Ranger Bill Valosin, the tinsmith, demonstrates how cannon ammunition is prepared.

The carpenters work on a traveling forge.




Ranger Joe Craig works as the blacksmith.

There were no cannon firings yesterday, but I still took a picture of one of the cannons you can find at the visitors center.
