February is #BlackHistoryMonth celebrating the accomplishments of Black Americans throughout our nation's past. This history is one of adversity, endurance, and hope, representing the highest and lowest points of the American experience.

Wartime often exacerbated these extremes, of repression and violence as well as liberation and opportunity. Ticonderoga's history is full of examples of the promise moments of crisis created, and often the limits of change, despite great courage and perseverance. 

Learn more about the stories of soldiers of color that served at Ticonderoga, like Lemuel Haynes who served as a militiaman at Ticonderoga in 1776, here on our website: https://www.fortticonderoga.org/news/promise-and-prejudice-ticonderoga-and-the-unfinished-revolution/

#America250 #FortTiconderoga #REALTIMEREVOLUTION
What's that sound? Believe it or not, today is #nationalfartday!

While the people of the Revolutionary era may seem pretty uptight, they were not immune the infantile humor of human flatulence. Case in point, this 1776 edition in our library, from the Robert Nittolo Collection, of "L'Art de Péter" or "the Art of Farting." This was a satirical French publication mimicking the Age of Reason's detailed interest in the natural world, adorned with a suitably flatulent illustration.

In 1781, Benjamin Franklin too famously applied his wit to this subject. Clearly this generation wasn't as stuffy as their portraits may make them seem. To quote Dr. Franklin, without the ability to laugh at our bodies life would be "scarcely worth a FARThing."
