Casey is the third generation of the Samson family to continue the business, his daughter Peyton is already working in the shop in preparation to be the fourth.
We stopped by the Samson Historical booth at the Conner Longrifle Trade Fair and Antique Arms Show to sit down and chat with Abbie and Casey Samson about how their business has changed over the past 10 years and what they are seeing in the living history communities.
Samson historical is a division of Samson Family Leather, having originally started in the 1970s, we're now in the 3rd generation of Samsons helping supply living historians and reenactors with accurate clothing, gear, and accouterments.
