Fort Ticonderoga

We checked out Fort Ticonderoga today, the location of the "first American victory of the Revolutionary War."  First victory because three weeks after Lexington and Concord Ethan Allen (and Benedict Arnold (tooey)) captured the lightly-defended fort and its at cannon (pl.) in the early morning hours without a shot being fired. Great success for the Green Mountain Boys!
