The Capture of Fort Ticonderoga, Presented by Mark Beliles The raid on Fort Ticonderoga took place in the early morning on May 10, 1775. As the Colonists in Boston, under siege, needed the munitions there, Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold and the New England militia breeched the fort at dawn and demanded surrender from Captain William DeLaPlace. He gave up his sword and the fort and the munitions to the rebels and not a single life was lost. Free admission for all! Info: 508-240-2400 | artsempoweringlife.org
