“America’s First Victory”
Fort Ticonderoga’s award-winning school program for students in grades 3-6 focuses on the experiences of soldiers at Fort Ticonderoga during the American Revolution. Students reenact the historic capture of Fort Ticonderoga by Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold, and the Green Mountain Boys that took place on May 10, 1775. Students also become members of the 4th Pennsylvania Regiment, stationed at Ticonderoga from July 1776 to February 1777, and are drilled on the Fort’s Parade Ground by a sergeant of the regiment. Students practice team-work and decision-making skills throughout the program. Students participating in the program are admitted at $7 per student, which includes self-guided exploration of the Fort and Museum before or after the program. Space is limited. To make a reservation, please call Nancy LaVallie, group tour coordinator, at (518) 585-2821.
