Budget Option Price: $200
• Ligonier Moccasins (sewn with buckskin lacing and added soles) — $275

Whether you are a reenactor, history enthusiast, or simply interested in traditional craftsmanship, this is a rare opportunity to learn historic skills and leave with a handmade item you'll treasure for years to come.
