Fort Ticonderoga recreates Von Germann painting

Von Germann drawing of a British soldier in Canadian dress
Our staff took a moment this past week to recreate this fantastic period image of a British soldier weathering a cold Canadian winter. Both the cap and the blanket coat are Canadian-style garments, showing how these soldiers adapted to their environment by adopting local styles.
