Brown’s Raid Battle Reenactment this Weekend At Fort Ti

September 16, 2022 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

Brown's Raid reenactment by Mark MorelloFort Ticonderoga has announced a two-day battle reenactment highlighting the epic 1777 Brown’s Raid, when patriot Colonel John Brown leads a surprise attack against British troops garrisoning Fort Ticonderoga, set for Saturday and Sunday, September 17th and 18th.

Attendees will follow the American raid on Ticonderoga as it unfolds across the landscape and explore the mechanics and weapons of this daring attack through living history demonstrations. On Saturday, visitors will experience the first moments of Colonel Brown’s attack, as they send the surprised British into chaos, reeling back towards their fortifications. Sunday, see the crescendo of firepower, as the British and Colonel Brown’s raiders trade musket and cannon shots. A battle briefing will begin at 12:30 pm each day to get the real story behind all the recreated action, with battle reenactments taking place at 1:15 pm each day.

Highlighted programming throughout the weekend will bring to life the American raid on British-held Ticonderoga. Attendees will learn about the Royal Navy’s role in defending Ticonderoga from Lake Champlain aboard the tour boat, Carillon. Atop Mount Defiance, meet the guard of Vermont rangers who had attacked British-held Fort Ticonderoga with their own cannon.

Admission to Brown’s Raid is included in a Fort Ticonderoga general admission ticket. For the full event schedule and to learn more about the event, visit Fort Ticonderoga’s website.
