Mirrored Sconce
"Candles were costly and dim, so wall sconces like this one helped
amplify their light using mirrors. This elegant fixture, made with real
silver-backed glass, was a luxury in its time.
Donated by Mary and Charles Grant."
Spectacles
"These spectacles belonged to David Williams, one of the three men who
captured British Major John André, an event that exposed Benedict
Arnold's betrayal of the United States. You can visit both the
spectacles and the monument marking the burial site of Williams and his
wife, Nancy, here at the Old Stone Fort.
Donated by their grandson, William C. Williams."
