For more than 30 years, Ron Toelke has participated in historic reenactments, learning the use of such firearms as the British Brown Bess, various French muskets and other period flintlock weapons. He helped form a Revolutionary War reenactment group of the 7th Albany militia, and later, units of the Continental First New York Regiment. Several reproduction flintlock firearms will be demonstrated along with the necessary accouterments and other items needed to operate these weapons. There will be no live firing. No charge to attend.
