During the 250th anniversary of the War for Independence, Fort Ticonderoga will present new exhibitions, conferences, and publications that will reach audiences on-site and online through our Center for Digital History.
The opportunity of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution provides Fort Ticonderoga with a unique opportunity to mobilize the museum’s extensive collections and history to engage with the conflict as it evolved here at Ticonderoga and beyond. The region’s significance to the Revolution will be explored through interpretive and educational programming, lectures, and exhibits. In addition, our exhibition program, as well as a conference series will shine a national and international light on the broader impact of the American Revolution as a conflict that shaped not just the United States but the world with repercussions that are felt to the present day.
Initiatives for the 250th anniversary of the Revolution include:
- A new exhibition series, A Revolutionary Anthology, engages Fort Ticonderoga’s 250th Anniversary themes for a deep look into the world of the American Revolution. Over five years from 2024 to 2028 the contents of this exhibition will rotate to focus on a different theme allowing guests to experience many facets of the Revolutionary experience across North America, the Western Hemisphere, and the broader Atlantic World. During this period hundreds of artifacts will be on display, including many from the Robert Nittolo Collection, for the first time ever. Click here to explore the exhibits online.
- The Seminar on the American Revolution will also follow the museum’s interpretive themes to explore the events and implications of this earth-shattering event. Information about the upcoming Seminar on the American Revolution can be found here to submit new research on the period.
