Inside Fort Ticonderoga's Collections - A quilted petticoat.

This video shows a stunning 1746 quilted petticoat from Southern New England and that it is more than just a piece of clothing-it’s a symbol of Anglo-American identity. Proudly displaying the British Royal Arms at its front, this garment reminds us of the strong cultural and political ties that connected Americans and Britons before the Revolutionary War. At that time, Americans saw themselves as British subjects, united in shared rights, grievances, and a vibrant material culture.
Explore this fascinating artifact with Curator Dr. Matthew Keagle and learn more about its unique story in our online collections database. This object will also be on display next year in our NEW exhibit A Revolutionary Anthology: Subjects, Citizens, Service that opens May 2025!
