Revolutionary War in a Trunk

SCPL and the Big Spring chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) are pleased to bring you a hands-on, interactive program that is fun for all ages! Geoff Baggett, Kentucky writer and Revolutionary War historian, brings an old wooden trunk full of interesting items and military equipment from the Revolutionary War period. His presentation utilizes reproductions of 18th century weaponry, camp tools and equipment, clothing, toys, personal hygiene items, and other everyday necessities. This trunk full of Colonial “treasures” helps bring to life the reality of living on the Virginia and Kentucky frontier in the 1770s.   This program is funded in part by the Kentucky Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
