Fort Ticonderoga introduces a new series of Sunday afternoon programs running from January through April. Presented by Fort Ticonderoga staff, the programs cost $10 each and are free for Members of the Friends of Fort Ticonderoga.<\/p>\n

The program begins with a \u201cWinter Landscape Snowshoe Trek\u201d led by Curator of Landscape Heidi Karkoski on January 22. Explore the Fort Ticonderoga grounds and learn how to identify trees based on their winter (leaf-less) characteristics. Bring your own snowshoes (or hiking boots if conditions require).<\/p>\n

On February 12, Curator of Collections Chris Fox will give attendees the chance to examine several original 18th-cenutry weapons from the Fort\u2019s extensive collection in a program titled \u201cThe Roar of Musketry and the Cracking of Rifles: An Introduction to the Weapons of the 18th Century.\u201d<\/p>\n

In \u201cNative Americans and the Patriot Cause\u201d on March 25, Director of Interpretation Stuart Lilie will discuss the roles of Native groups that sided with the colonists during the American Revolution.<\/p>\n

On April 22, Director of Education Rich Strum will talk about \u201cHenry Knox: Beyond the Noble Train of Artillery.\u201d Learn about the fascinating life of Henry Knox, from his first job in a book shop at age nine through his Revolutionary War career to his role as the nation\u2019s first Secretary of War.<\/p>\n

The Fort Fever Series is one of several new education initiatives at Fort Ticonderoga in 2012!
