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.
