Peter Martin brings over 30 years of experience working at historic War of 1812 sites and has presented on various topics throughout North America. Peter will showcase and discuss weapons of all shapes and sizes from the War of 1812. From the standard weapons that soldiers carried into battle to the more distinctive weapons carried by cavalry, navy, and First Nations, all will be on display. On the day before Valentine’s Day, nothing says I love you like a tickle from a feather spring.
