Join Fort Ticonderoga TOMORROW for a one-day living history event and explore how British soldiers and loyalists engaged in their final campaign at Ticonderoga in the fall of 1781. Discover how this feign of British military force was to threaten the United States, while supporting a loyalist Vermont.
Highlighted programming throughout the day uncovers the complexities of refugees of the new United States seeking security within British territory. Explore the trades and tools employed by soldiers and sailors to make and mend anything from sails to entire barracks. Go beyond loading and firing to discuss tactical adaptations employed by the British Army as they raided along the northern frontier between the United States and Canada. See how officers and soldiers alike encamped in and around Fort Ticonderoga, which had already been in runs for nearly four years.
During an engaging presentation by Fort Ticonderoga Curator, Dr. Matthew Keagle, explore the forgotten campaign of the American Revolution and the complex politics and strategy of the Northern frontier late in the Revolutionary War.
