America250 - The Cannons of Ticonderoga: A Revolutionary War Story (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

This lecture describes one of the most unlikely and daring escapades of the American Revolution during the winter of 1775-1776!

In early 1776, the scrappy American forces had the British army trapped inside Boston, but no one knew what to do next. A young, inexperienced officer suggested bombing British ships with cannons mounted on the hills. Problem: those cannons were 200 miles away across the mountains, and would have to be transported by sledge, secretly, into Boston. In this lecture by Joyce Haworth, learn about one of the most unlikely and perhaps pivotal events of the American Revolution.
