Mount Independence Revolutionary War Artifacts: Canteens

The Artifacts of Mount Independence and the Stories They Tell: A series of brief explorations of Revolutionary War artifacts from Mount Independence on Lake Champlain in Orwell, Vermont. Michael Barbieri, long-time Revolutionary War reenactor, historian, and researcher, and a Mount Independence volunteer, takes a look at remains of tin canteens found in archaeological investigations over the years at the Mount Independence State Historic Site. How do we know these fragments are likely from canteens? Presented by the Mount Independence State Historic Site, Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, as part of the site's collection stewardship project funded by a grant from the National Park Service American Battlefield Projection Program.
