"Now Left to their Own Defense," German and British Soldiers Leave Ticonderoga

Description

In November of 1777, cut off, short of food, and the weather getting colder the British-held posts of Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence made the hard decision to withdraw back to Canada following the surrender at Saratoga. At this special Living History event join the German soldiers, who formed the core of the Ticonderoga Garrison, and prepare to evacuate the "Gibraltar of the North." Royal Artillerymen aid these Brunswickers to determine what to take, and what to destroy to prevent falling into enemy hands.
