Northern Department 250th Anniversary Celebration

In June of 1775, the Continental Congress established the Northern Department, a military department of the Continental Army charged with administering most of northern New York State and the surrounding region. Today’s Northern Department links Revolutionary historic sites and museums in New York, Vermont, and Québec that formed the historic department, to introduce new generations to the remarkable legacy of one of North America’s most concentrated historic regions.

Before the Revolutionary War, most colonists and Europeans were subjects, ruled by a king or queen. Americans eventually formed their own government run by citizens, but it took a grueling struggle. A person’s experience with the military service varied based on their location, culture, and politics. And the ways that service evolved during the war influenced how people look at military service even today.
