Highlighted programming featured throughout the weekend brings to life the surprising American retreat and British capture of Fort Ticonderoga in early July 1777. Experience the fog of war and smoky haze of battle as the American and British armies maneuver across this historic landscape. This two-day battle re-enactment will dramatically show how General Arthur St. Clair decided to evacuate Ticonderoga set the stage for British General John Burgoyne. \nFort Ticonderoga Defiance and Independence takes place Saturday and Sunday\, 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Admission to this re-enactment event is included in a Fort Ticonderoga’s general admission ticket. \n \nA Defining Story Brought to Life: During the Fort Ticonderoga Defiance and Independence reenactment\, visitors will witness the intensity of battle as American soldiers retreat back from their entrenched camp under the intense British drive to capture the fortifications. They will discover the diverse forces that comprised this campaign and meet with soldiers of the two armies including the Royal Artillery\, the Rear Guard\, and the Continental Artillery. \nThis living history event and battle recreation will re-enact a careful chess game between the British Army and an entrenched Continental Army at Ticonderoga. Reprieved from a siege in 1776 by the onset of winter\, Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence faced General John Burgoyne’s northern army of British\, Loyalist\, and German soldiers in July 1777. General St. Clair’s rearguard of Massachusetts and New Hampshire regulars and militia put up a vigorous defense\, skirmishing in the hills and valleys around Ticonderoga. Artillery batteries built into the old French Lines seemed to keep the British army at by. Concealed by forest cover on the back slope of Mount Defiance\, British cannon were dragged to the summit. By July 6\, 1777\, British cannon high up on Mount Defiance\, aimed at the pontoon bridge between the two Forts of Ticonderoga and Independence\, forced the withdrawal of General St. Clair’s rearguard into the Hampshire Grants (Vermont). \n \nWhere a Goat Can Go\, A Man Can Go! Saturday evening at 6:30 pm a gun crew from the Royal Artillery will haul their cannon to the summit of Mount Defiance\, aiming at the Fort located below. Guests can witness the incredible feat and discover the details of this decisive stroke and witness a cannon demonstration in the evening light of the beautiful summit. Advanced tickets are required for this event and must be purchased at Fort Ticonderoga or call 518-585-2821. \nOther Fort Ticonderoga Living History Demonstrations & Reenactments Fort Ticonderoga offers more than one hundred exciting and unique events and programs each season.

Its furnishings include several Hale family possessions and other collections amassed by Connecticut lawyer and philanthropist George Dudley Seymour\, who purchased the Homestead in 1914 and began a program of restoration that is largely preserved today. The Hale Homestead is situated on 17 acres\, adjoining the 1500-acre Nathan Hale State Forest\, lending to the site’s substantial rural character. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Hale at the Homestead Revolutionary War Encampment & Musical Muster in Coventry\, Connecticut. \nTags: Hale at the Homestead Revolutionary War Encampment & Musical Muster\, Hale at the Homestead Colonial Encampment and Muster\, Nathan Hale Ancient Fife and Drums\, Hale Ancient Fife and Drums Fife and Drum Muster\, Hale Ancient Fife and Drums Encampment Weekend \nView other Musters & Encampmenets URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/hale-at-the-homestead-revolutionary-war-encampment-musical-muster/ LOCATION:Nathan Hale Homestead\, 2299 South Street\, Coventry\, CT\, 06238\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Fife & Drum Corps Events,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Image21Hale-at-the-Homestead-Revolutionary-War-Encampment-04-900x600.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Nathan Hale Ancient Fifes and Drums":MAILTO:info@nathanhalefifesanddrums.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20180728T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20180728T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T194233 CREATED:20160403T234926Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180113T182331Z UID:3868-1532764800-1532797200@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps Muster DESCRIPTION:2018 Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps Muster\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExperience martial music at its best at the Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps Muster on July 28\, 2018  at Historic Fort Ticonderoga in Ticonderoga\, New York.

Fife and Drum Corps gained increased popularity during the American bicentennial celebrations. In 18th-century military life\, fifes and drums served as one of the primary modes of battlefield communication and camp regulation. \n \nHistory of the Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps Fort Ticonderoga formed its first Fife and Drum Corps in 1926 on the eve of the 150th anniversary celebrations of American Independence. The Corps performed at the Fort each summer until the beginning of World War II. When the World’s Fair came to New York City in 1939\, the Fife and Drum Corps was a featured performer on May 10th\, Fort Ticonderoga Day celebrating the 164th anniversary of the capture of the Fort by Ethan Allen\, Benedict Arnold and the Green Mountain Boys. \nIn 1973\, in preparation for the bicentennial\, Fort Ticonderoga revived the Fife and Drum Corps to perform daily during the museum campus’ summer season. The Fife and Drum Corps has performed every year since and has been featured performers at many major public events including the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games\, the christening of the US Navy Guided Missile Cruiser USS Ticonderoga CG-47\, and several Evacuation Day parades in Boston\, Massachusetts. \n \nToday the Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps is comprised of Ticonderoga area high school students who are paid employees of Fort Ticonderoga\, an independent not-for-profit educational organization. The Fife and Drum Corps is part of Fort Ticonderoga’s Interpretive Department whose focus brings to life Fort Ticonderoga’s specific history through daily interpretive programs\, historic trades and special events. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps Muster at Historic Fort Ticonderoga in Ticonderoga\, New York. \nTags: Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps Muster\, Fort Ticonderoga Fife & Drum Corps Muster\, Fife & Drum Corps Muster \nDaily Programs\, Activities & Demonstrations\nFort Ticonderoga Special Events\nHistory of Fort Ticonderoga\nMap of Fort Ticonderoga (pdf) URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-ticonderoga-fife-drum-corps-muster/ LOCATION:Fort Ticonderoga\, 100 Fort Ti Road\, Ticonderoga\, NY\, 12883\, United States CATEGORIES:American Revolutionary War Reenactment,Fife & Drum Corps Events,Historic American Forts,Living History Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/fort-ticonderoga-fife-and-drum-corps-muster01-850x567.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Fort Ticonderoga- Living History & Reenactments":MAILTO:info@fort-ticonderoga.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
