This official statement marks the 251st anniversary of the capture of Fort Ticonderoga during the Revolutionary War. It is part of the ongoing America 250 celebrations that honor the history of the United States.
The message tells the story of how a small group of American fighters surprised British soldiers and took the fort without firing a single shot. This was the first time the American colonies went on the attack during the war.
The victory was important because it gave the American army much needed cannons and supplies. These tools were later used to help push British forces out of Boston and keep the New England area safe for the Americans.
