Join Jamie LaBreck and Patrick Kelly for a special presentation on “Arming Up for Battle” in the Middle Ages at Castlerock Museum in Alma, Wisconsin.

The program will start with a brief discussion of the evolution of armor, followed by a demonstration of how a man-at-arms of the 1400’s would get into his harness. Afterwards, there will be a fighting demonstration in the museum courtyard, weather permitting.

Jamie LaBreck is a museum volunteer and reenactor with an interest in medieval warfare. Patrick Kelly is a fellow volunteer and reenactor who also works as a cutler at Arms and Armor in Minneapolis.

Castlerock Museum will open at 1:00pm for visitors that would like to see the exhibits beforehand. Seating is limited. Reservations are appreciated.

Castlerock Museum has over two thousand years of history in a building that looks like a castle! See authentic arms and armor from Romans, Dark Age Warriors, Vikings, Crusader Knights, and Renaissance "Knights in Shining Armor." New galleries cover American history from the Colonial Era through the late 1800's and include a hundred period firearms.
