About Independence Day at Fort Ticonderoga in 1776<\/strong>
\nSick, weary, and tired, the remnants of the American Northern Army streamed back from Canada to Ticonderoga. General Horatio Gates, their newly-appointed commander, quickly sprung into action reorganizing, resupplying, and restoring the discipline of America’s northern defense. Gates put soldiers from New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to work building earthworks all around the old Fort of Ticonderoga and constructing a navy to defend Lake Champlain.<\/p>\n

1776 was a year of rebuilding the Northern Army as part of building a new nation. While the Continental Congress discussed the finer points of declaring independence in Philadelphia, the shattered remnants of the Continental Army which had come so close to capturing Quebec trickled back down to Fort Ticonderoga. Frost bitten, starving, and decimated by smallpox these soldiers began building up bulwarks and America’s first navy to defend their new nation. A new Continental Army emerged reinforced by soldiers from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire and New York, to guard Fort Ticonderoga.<\/p>\n

While the declaration itself was signed July 4th, news of the document and the patriotic sentiment it carried would not reach the Northern Army at Fort Ticonderoga until July 28th. The new fortifications of Rattlesnake Hill were christened Mount Defiance to mark the occasion of the first reading of the Declaration to these soldiers.<\/p>\n

Fort Ticonderoga, named Carillon by the French in 1755 and known to the soldiers in the American Revolution as “the old French Fort,” stood at the center of two wars and five battles. By 1820, the “old French Fort” had fallen into ruins when William Ferris Pell purchased the land and began one of America’s earliest preservation efforts. During the 19th century, the ruins of the fort stood at the center of inspiration for writers, artists, and travelers who visited the scenic and historic Ticonderoga peninsula. In 1908, the Fort’s restoration and reconstruction began launching the earliest restoration effort in America. Today, the fort sits at the center of the Ticonderoga experience where guests can explore museum exhibitions, interact with historic trades staff, and participate in lively daily programs and special events and reenactments.<\/p>\n

Fort Ticonderoga is one of America\u2019s greatest treasures! With nearly 2000 acres of exquisite landscape located on Lake Champlain and overlooking the Green Mountains of Vermont, it tells the comprehensive story of how the blood spilled to create an empire in the French & Indian War resulted in the struggle for liberty and America\u2019s independence a generation later. It is also the beautiful story of how a family, the Pell family, preserved the landscape and recreated the Fort a century ago, beginning one of the earliest historic preservation efforts in America. It is because of their vision that we are now able to fulfill our mission to ensure that present and future generations learn from the struggles, sacrifices and victories that shaped the nations of North America and changed world history.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nWhy is this important? In a world with change accelerating all around us, more and more we need an understanding and appreciation of the principles and experiences that led to the founding of our nation. Recent studies, however, show that fewer and fewer people can answer the most basic questions about America\u2019s history. Without that basic knowledge, we are unable to measure the significance of the events happening today that affect our everyday lives. Fort Ticonderoga is a symbol of our rich heritage and should stand as a beacon to understand our present and inform our future.<\/p>\n

Fort Ticonderoga is a family destination, a center of learning and an interactive, multi-disciplined experience. It\u2019s exploring the beautiful gardens, finding adventure in our events, marching with the Fife and Drum Corp, and learning about a historic trade. It\u2019s a visit through the reconstructed Fort, a stroll overlooking Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont, a boat ride along the beautifyl waters of Lake Champlain, and an afternoon in our exhibit galleries exploring our premier collections. A visit to Fort Ticonderoga connects all visitors to a place and time that defined a continent, a nation, and its continued legacy.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Fort Ticonderoga\u2019s website to explore its epic history, rare collections, and rich learning opportunities! Your support ensures that present and future generations learn from the struggles, sacrifices and victories that shaped the nations of North America and changed world history![\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n
