Two fragments make up a lead toy soldier that is flat, almost two dimensional. One small piece has broken off, but the fragments form an otherwise complete object. The soldier is wearing a large hat and a coat with tails and is holding a firearm—possibly a musket—perpendicular to his body and leaning on his shoulder. This toy was found during the excavation of the hospital building at Historic Fort Snelling in 1974.
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
