As Fort Ticonderoga concludes its 2025 campaign season, we invite you to cover a rare and poignant living history experience happening this weekend, October 25–26.
October 25-26, Fort Ticonderoga presents a powerful two-day living history event delving into the untold story of British prisoners of war during the American Revolution.This unique event offers a real-time exploration of a little-known chapter in the Revolutionary War — the moral, logistical, and human struggles faced by the Continental Army as they managed enemy prisoners in the aftermath of the failed Canadian invasion.
Throughout the weekend, visitors will witness:
Continental guards conducting prisoner roll calls and daily routines
The harsh realities of prisoner treatment, soldier fatigue duty, and survival in a wilderness fort
Living history demonstrations that vividly illustrate the crossroads of military necessity and revolutionary ideals
This is the final event of the season — a powerful, immersive send-off for what has been a year of deep storytelling and historic interpretation at one of America’s most iconic Revolutionary War sites.
