Fort William Henry, a replica of a 1755–1757 British garrison, has 68 artillery pieces (19 historic and 49 replica). Workshop attendees will get a 1-hour primer on garrison and naval gun (artillery) carriages. The group will spend the rest of the workshop assisting a professional archaeologist in an inventory and recording of the museum’s replica artillery carriages, many date to the mid-1950s.
