This reenactment will dramatically recreate one of the greatest Continental Army victories of 1776 that
occurred at the same time as one of its greatest defeats. The very moment soldiers and militiamen at
Ticonderoga held the line for liberty—and perhaps secured independence—will come to life.
On the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Valcour Island Fort Ticonderoga will host a distinguished panel
of scholars to reflect on the campaign of 1776 on Lake Champlain. The failure of the British to seize
Ticonderoga in the fall of 1776 was a critical, vital victory for the Americans in the early years of the
Revolutionary War—acknowledged even at the time. But who gets the credit for the year’s victory?
This annual premier conference focused on the military, political, social, and material culture of the
American Revolution regularly features scholars from across North America and beyond. [HYBRID]
