I stumbled across this newsreel from 1956 that shows Fort Ticonderoga 180 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I'm certain that many improvements have accompanied the passing of 63 additional years since the making of this video: especially in the areas of preservation, collection, and education. The story will never be reconstructed to 100% accuracy, but now more than ever, with continuing development of the resources collected and studied, historians have pieced it together to better understand the history.
