In the Footsteps of the Continental Soldiers
This one-hour immersive program provides students with an understanding of the life and sacrifice of Continental Army soldiers as they trained and served at Ticonderoga. In this team-building program, students form a platoon of soldiers, learning teamwork and discipline as they undergo a typical day in the life of soldiers. They learn about the training used to prepare soldiers to meet a powerful enemy, what soldiers ate, where they slept, and experience the confusion of battle. Raise your hand in allegiance and your journey will begin!
During their participation in this program, students interactively observe a musket demonstration, gaining a core comprehension of military tactics through inquiry-based discussion. The soldiers’ experience comes to life as students learn about key aspects of the Revolutionary War.
