Lake Champlain played a key role in the early years of the Revolutionary War as both British and American forces fought to control this water highway. Physical evidence of the struggle over Lake Champlain has been left to us in the form of sunken vessels and battlefield debris scattered across its bottom lands. This presentation will share information on the current, and previous, archaeological efforts being conducted by the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, and how that work deepens our understanding of these foundational events in our country’s history.
Note: Our off-season lectures will be held in a hybrid in-person/virtual format. If you are unable to join us in-person, we invite you to join us via Youtube live stream. The live stream link for each lecture can be found below.
