Ticonderoga Historical Society Program: "The Crown Point Road and the Opening of Northern New England and Lake Champlain"

Description

After the fall of the forts at Ticonderoga and Crown Point in the fall of 1759, General Jeffrey Amherst ordered the building of the Crown Point Road. The road was to run from Crown Point, New York across Vermont to The Fort at No. 4 on the Connecticut River. Join us as independent historian and reenactor John Eric Nelson explains how this 90-mile-long road through the wilderness would facilitate the movement of troops and supplies from New England to the Champlain war front, and its importance after the war in facilitating a land rush of new settlement in the North.
