Sun Community News

Crown Point kicks off the site's commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution on Sunday, May 11, 2025! On May 11, 1775, Seth Warner led a group 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 the interactive Revisit the Revolution kiosk, which highlights themes, stories, and locations associated with Revolutionary War. The day will include performances by 18th Century musicians and 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.

Registration required: Crown Point State Historic Site

Crown Point State Historic Site is seeking volunteers to assist with an archaeological excavation on the site grounds. Volunteers will be excavating earthen mounds that remain from a previous project conducted in the 1960s. The mounds contain soil removed from areas around the 18th century fortifications and were never processed or sifted for artifacts. Participants can expect to dig through, sift, and process material culture and artifacts left behind by the soldiers and civilians who lived at Crown Point in the mid-1700s. No previous archaeological experience is necessary. Volunteers will be trained in archaeological techniques on-site and can expect a moderate amount of physical labor including digging, lifting, and carrying. Interested volunteers can contact the historic site at (518) 597-4666.
