Captured Again for America’s 250th

Two and a half centuries later, our Redcoat survives in extraordinary condition—one of only a handful in public collections, and so complete we’ll put it up against any that survive.

For America’s 250th, we did something no one had done before: captured it in stunning, ultra-high-resolution 360°, so the whole country can see our shared history up close. A project made possible by the Historical Association of Catawba County and its donors.
