Living History Event: The Bridge to 1777
In March 1777, American soldiers at Ticonderoga raced against time to prepare for the next British attack on Lake Champlain. On land and ice, soldiers labored to build a strong bridge across Lake Champlain, connecting both halves of the camp and blocking the big boats of the Royal Navy.
