Colonial Williamsburg's Fire A Flintlock Musket Program

Of the numerous exciting experiences Colonial Williamsburg has to offer, one of the primary draws, particularly for firearm enthusiasts, is the chance to see period-correct muskets, pistols and cannons fired in a historic setting. Many, however, are not content with simply watching this. With Colonial Williamsburg's "Fire a Flintlock Musket" program, participants are given the chance to learn more about the operation of and actually fire a flintlock musket at Williamsburg's outdoor range. For those looking for an even more hands-on approach to history, this might be the ultimate experience. For more information and current pricing, check out the program's website or this informative video.
