Join Fort Ticonderoga and the Vermont 250th Anniversary Commission for this deeper look into Ethan Allen. From the formation of the Green Mountain Boys in the early 1770s, to the capture of Fort Ticonderoga in May 1775, and his capture by the British later in 1775, Allen was a polarizing figure in Revolutionary America. This free webinar examines Allen’s life, delves into the Allen-related collections at Fort Ticonderoga, and features suggested ways to incorporate Allen into the classroom.
