Dressed in Colonial garb, representatives from Fort Ticonderoga visited Queensbury Middle School this week to teach social studies students about the daily lives of American soldiers on the northern frontier in the early years of the Revolutionary War.
The engaging program incorporated history, geography and math to provide context to the personal experience of American soldiers. Students explored the soldiers’ equipment and food and discussed the challenges of transporting supplies for the Continental Army. Students asked questions, handled objects and dress like a soldier.
