During the mid-1700’s the first rebel victory of the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Fort Ticonderoga served as a morale booster and provided key artillery for the Continental Army in that first year of war. Cannons captured at Fort Ticonderoga would be used during the successful Siege of Boston the following spring. The re-enactments are being held in July with Museum exhibitions of the military culture with weapons and art. You can also take a scenic boat cruise around Lake Champlain with events all year long, Ticonderoga is a wonderful place to visit anytime of the year.
