The Fort Fever Series is a virtual series presented by Fort Ticonderoga staff.
Join Dr. Matthew Keagle, Curator, to preview the 2026 special exhibition highlighting “Revolutionary Possibilities.” American Independence was not a foregone conclusion. Recovering the contingency of the American Revolution helps to underscore its profound significance. The future hung in the balance, affected by everything from human actions to natural events. The charged atmosphere of the period from 1774 to 1783 made anything possible. Objects and ideas from Europe were transformed through contact with those from the complex and diverse American colonial world. From the personal to the national, the political and military situation provided a vast new set of opportunities, from individual freedom to political independence. People from all nations, races, genders, and occupations made choices that impacted their own lives and the future of the continent and the world.
