Free Screening & Discussion: NOVA Revolutionary War Weapons

Join WMHT Public Media for a special preview screening and discussion of NOVA Revolutionary War Weapons with Fort Ticonderoga Curator Matthew Keagle, PhD and New York State Museum Senior Historian Aaron Noble on Sunday, April 6th from 3pm-5pm in the New York State Museum’s Huxley Theater. Doors open at 2:30pm.

In 1775, a ragtag army of farmers and tradesmen defeated the most powerful army in the world to win American independence. What military technology did the American colonies use in their fight for freedom, and how did it help propel them to one of history’s most unlikely victories? Archeologists and historians uncover the real stories of innovation, skill, and strategy that determined the outcome of important battles. From the Brown Bess musket to the world’s first military submarine, get a closeup look at the powerful and sometimes ingenious weapons that helped win our independence.

The WMHT broadcast premiere of NOVA Revolutionary War Weapons is Wed. April 9th at 9pm ET.
