Ethan – Instilling a Passion for History in Future Generations

Our friend Ethan over at I Love Muzzleloading presented at the 2023 Kalamazoo Living History Show with some concrete ideas of how to share our passion for history and muzzleloading with others.

Here’s his full presentation . .  .

I really liked how Ethan grouped together the various aspects of the muzzleloader hobby – target shooters, woodsrunners, living historians, experimental archeologists, etc into a muzzeloading community.

Ethan has some great ideas for things we can all do to make sure our common passion can be passed down to future generations.

What do you think?

What will you do . . .
