Relive history at Crown Point State Historic Site

Crown Point kicks off the site’s commemoration of the 250 th Anniversary of the American Revolution. On May 11, 1775, Seth Warner led a contingent of Green Mountain Boys to capture Crown Point, only three weeks after the American Revolution began at Lexington and Concord. This early victory secured cannons and artillery for the revolutionary cause and helped establish American control of Lake Champlain early in the war. On Sunday, May 11, 2025, Crown Point will mark the anniversary of this crucial victory, with an encampment of Seth Warner’s Regiment representing the Green Mountain Boys and the opening of new exhibits in the historic site museum. The new exhibits include an interactive kiosk commemorating the 250 th anniversary of the Revolution, which presents differing viewpoints and diverse stories related to the conflict. The day will include performances by 18 th Century musicians and site staff will also offer a focus tour about Crown Point in the American Revolution. Local historical organizations will also be on site to talk about ways to commemorate the American Revolution in the years to come.
