Historic Martin’s Station is an outdoor living history museum at Wilderness Road State Park in beautiful Lee County, Virginia. The Station features the most authentic reconstructed frontier fort in America. Virginia’s frontier comes alive here as costumed interpreters demonstrate life in Colonial America. Historic Martin’s Station is a special place where you can directly experience history first-hand. It is a place where you can reach out and touch history, and where history can touch you. A visit here can never be forgotten.

I think this is a wonderful thing you are doing .I am a disabled veteran and follow you. I am in my 70 I really enjoy your videos . I share them with many of my veterans buddy's. I love the sign live free or die .👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service!!
@@ILoveMuzzleloading I appreciate that Ethan 🇺🇸👍
Thanks for what you do to keep history and traditional muzzle loading alive.
It's my pleasure, thank you
It’s about not forgetting those who came before us and knowing where we came from. It’s a way to connect. Could be as simple as staring a fire with flint and steel or taking game with an authentic arm. Whatever. By the way, your cinematography is really getting good. Outstanding camera work and music.
Thank you! Full credit on the music to @hawkenhorse, he’s doing a great service by sharing the music.
That looked like an absolutely amazing experience!!!!
Great video Ethan it’s good to remember where we came from in the creation of this great country. Remember our fallen soldiers this Memorial Day.
Amen, it's not just a day off to shop or grill.
Thank you for making this video.
I belong to two different clubs. One of our members is a great great (not sure how many) grandson of Martin. He has been president of both of both Kit Carson Mountain Men and of American River Muzzle-loaders. They also participate as sutlers at most of our events. Close friends, and glad to know them.
Awesome video! it was great to get to meet you there.
The best way to encourage a new generation is to ..well encourage. The oh mighty youtube algorithm sent me to a young gentleman from the south doing historic hunting but from a southern standpoint. It is a new channel but the enthusiasm is their. Got to Along the Wolfs Trail and see.
I love Along the Wolf Trail's work! We've been talking a lot on instagram. Great channel.
As a descendant of Joseph Martin and his brother John, I can’t wait to attend an event (s) there. To walk where they have walked.
I’m a CW reenactor, at mainstream events I assist when I can, as an Authentic Campaigner. Now delving in the 18th century. Living history is vital, to pass on our nations history from ALL points of view.
I’m in California, near the Sierras, out of place for both era’s, yet we do our best. I’m taking my 7 year old grandson with me this year on his first 18C primitive hunting trip. Myself and two buddies will gear up “Longhunter” or “scout” style and spend a weekend up in the mountains. We can’t wait to run into F&G!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good on you for taking your grandson!! That's how we keep it going!!
You have our state modo there, "Live free or die" New Hampshire, another great video Ethan, man I love your enthusiasm in keeping these traditions alive and the desire to share and experience it first hand, I love history, especially American history...Thank you for another great video, great food for thought and keeping this alive!
Thank you kindly Alan. I love that flag and truly believe in it. I have a few more like this one in the queue, I hope you enjoy them!
Ethan you done real good!!
Great video!! I've lived in Virginia all of my life and had never heard of this event.
No way! You've got to come next year!
Excellent video Ethan. Martin's Station is always a great event and so glad i finally got to meet you in person. Your channel is one of the best.
Thank you kindly! Will I see you there next year?
I've enjoyed their Raid at Martin's Station event. I'm sure I would have liked this one.
Keep up the good work, Ethan
Thank you Jack!
I think videos like this will reach more folks and draw more interest than anything else, well done mate! Damn good to see my old running mate Mark Baker out and about. Cheers!!!
To answer your question (or pondering) about how to grow living history participation… from an outsider prospective, I love muzzleloading, but I have no idea where to start with the living history stuff. I am an avid muzzleloader and history buff, with a lot of the gear, and live in Texas. I have attended a few events and, even though I am very outgoing, I have always felt like an outsider. The folks in the events seem to be somewhat internally focused and not that interested in welcoming newcomers… so that’s an issue. Secondly, the online information is very disjointed. There doesn’t seem to be an easily understandable place to go and find out what events are happening, what the events are all about and how to become involved or even attend the event. If I’m going to travel 18 hours to get to an event ( which I am prepared to do) I sure would like more information before I get on the road. Concise and detailed information in an easy to understand format would go a long way toward growing the involvement of new people like me.
Excellent video and thanks for taking us there thur it. I think most of the seniors in life still dream of living back then, I know I do, thank you Ethan
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey, first comment! The music is wonderful. I need to get out there one year. I'm in Virginia, but that's about an eight-hour drive. I could be in NYC in the same amount of time. Much rather be at Martin's Station though. Nice video!
I too would rather be at Martin's Station, haha! Less pizza though...
Thank you for sharing! I need to get to Martin's Station!
Yes you do!
I have tried several times to find the schedule for these events. I looked at the Martin Station Website, I didn't see or realize what I was looking at. I wanted to go to the living history events. Thanks
I use this website to schedule my travels there - www.martinsstation.com/ They have two tabs under "events' at the top
@@ILoveMuzzleloading Thank you
Great video Ethan. Really like your educational themes. Keep it up!
Very good video. I love watching the videos you do. Maybe next year
Now is the time to start planning!
We did much with our kids that they do not remember. But they would remember if we had done nothing. Keep including your kids.
Is there a list of living history events somewhere?
ReenactingSchedule.org is my go to website to look!
Where do you find living history events? I live in northern ohio.
I love 3:24 when we see the pigs then it pans to what looks like pork on a spit. Well played Ethan 😂
Thank you for noticing 🙏
I would consider going and bringing my family but may 9... that's spring turkey season my man!
Yep, I lost a full week but it was worth it!
"Blood memory" is a good way to put it. It's a surreal, powerful experience to "live" in a different time with like minded people. Great work as always!
Thanks Drake!!!
Maybe we need to swear off the modern world with its many trips and traps, and begin to live our lives as our predecessors did!
Very cool sad to say not many people even care where they came from.
