Fort Ticonderoga Program: A Guided Tour of Fort Ticonderoga's Liberty Hill

A Guided Tour of Fort Ticonderoga's Liberty Hill

In July 1776, Continental soldiers began digging in at Ticonderoga as they prepared to stem a British counterattack. On the Heights of Carillon, a brigade of Pennsylvanians set up camp on the site of the bloodiest battle of the 18th century. Reinforcing the “old French lines” Americans believed history might repeat itself as they prepared for another British attack. Renaming the position “Liberty Hill,” the Continentals transformed the area, strengthening the fortifications and establishing a dense hut camp.
