"The American Revolution on the Northern Frontier: Fort Ticonderoga and the Road to Saratoga"
NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops for School Teachers
During the summer of 2011, Fort Ticonderoga hosted two week-long NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops for School Teachers. In “The American Revolution on the Northern Frontier: Fort Ticonderoga and the Road to Saratoga,” teachers had the opportunity to work with scholars from around the country as they examined the years 1775-1777 as they unfolded in northern New York and New England.
Scholars included:
- James Kirby Martin (University of Houston)
- Holly Mayer (Duquesne University)
- William Fowler (Northeastern University)
- David Preston (The Citadel)
- Douglas Egerton (Le Moyne College)
- Todd Braisted (Loyalist Institute)
- James Nelson (author and historian)
- Eric Schnitzer (Saratoga National Historical Park)
- Art Cohn (Lake Champlain Maritime Museum)
- Greg Urwin (Temple University)
