👒 A heartfelt thank you to Caitlin Sheldon, librarian and historical costumer, for her fascinating presentation on the fashion and dress of Revolutionary War-era women "Dressing the Revolutionary Lady" at our June Brown Bag Lunch Lecture Series held this afternoon at the Saratoga Springs Public Library.

Caitlin brought history to life through an engaging demonstration of the clothing, styles, and customs of the period, offering attendees a unique glimpse into what fashionable women would have worn during the Revolutionary War era. From layers and fabrics to accessories, her presentation highlighted the rich details behind 18th-century fashion.

Her knowledge, attention to detail, and passion for history made for an enjoyable and educational experience for all who attended.

Thank you, Caitlin, for sharing your expertise and helping us step back in time for an afternoon of living history!

See the scenic Adirondacks from the saddle @ Mountain View Rocking B Ranch. Meander along scenic trails, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and enjoy a truly Adirondack experience.

Years from now, it won't be the miles you remember. It will be the laughter between friends, the stories shared along the trail, and the feeling of being somewhere far removed from the noise of everyday life.
For a few hours, the world gets smaller. Just good horses, mountain air, and the people beside you.

Mountain View Rocking B Ranch
Family owned. Family run.
Since 1942.
