"No Quarter!" - The 250th Anniversary of the Capture of Fort Ticonderoga

Celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the first American victory of the American Revolution with NO QUARTER!: The Capture of Fort Ticonderoga. Just weeks after the Battles of Lexington and Concord, a small American force led by Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold launched a surprise attack on Fort Ticonderoga. The British garrison surrendered without a fight. The capture gave the Americans much needed artillery, which were transported to Boston by Henry Knox that winter and used to drive the British out of the city in 1776. During the live vignette, watch as Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold, and the Green Mountain Boys rush out of the night with patriotic shouts and the war cry of “No Quarter!” See this remote British garrison surprised, asleep with their families in the quarters. Listen as British officers try to buy time and attempt to negotiate a peaceful surrender with the famous and infamous Benedict Arnold and Ethan Allen. “No Quarter!” served as the first signature reenactment that Fort Ticonderoga will be hosting as part of REAL TIME REVOLUTION™. This multi-year initiative through 2027 will bring to life the people and events that defined the fight for independence, coinciding with the nation’s 250th anniversary commemoration.
