Daniel Dwight Horn Powder Horn 1759 Dwight Horn 1759

Daniel Dwight Horn - One of the interesting pieces in our museum is our engraved powder horns. Powder Horns were used during the 18th century to hold gunpowder for soldiers that they may need to load afterwards. Soldiers would decorate these powder horns by themselved or through a comrade with maps, floral designs, or mythological designs. Have a look at Daniel Dwight's powder horn engraved at Fort Ticonderoga in October 1759.
