Unearth the Past
The Fort Bend Archeological Society
Firearms of the Texas Revolution
Presented by Joshua “Josh” Martinez, Collectors Firearms
Join the Fort Bend Archeological Society for an evening exploring the firearms carried during the Texas Revolution. Drawing on nearly a decade of experience at Collectors Firearms, Martinez will discuss the flintlock rifles and muskets used during the period, examining their craftsmanship, function, and historical context. Through his work handling surviving examples, he offers insight into the weapons that shaped early 19th-century Texas.
The Fort Bend Archeological Society meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Exhibit Gallery of the Fort Bend Museum, 410 South 5th Street, Richmond, TX 77469. Meetings are free and open to the public.
