Join Adirondack History Museum Historian Don Wickman for detailed military commentary – The Champlain Valley in 1776: History & Stories
One author referred to 1776 as the “Year of Illusions.” This describes the military situation in the Lake Champlain Valley. In Canada, the superior and well-disciplined British army sat as their trained navy and craftsmen constructed a fleet. To the south waited a ragtag, demoralized, disease-ridden American army with a fleet carved out of the wilderness. Which side would win? Through a combination of history and stories supported by illustrations, this program will examine a critical year of the Revolution.
Doors Open : 6:30 PM
