The New York Geographic Alliance is sponsoring a geographic conference at Fort Ticonderoga on the shores of Lake Champlain. The theme is Pathways of Invasion, concentrating on the importance of the region during several conflicts (French and Indian War, American Revolution, and the War of 1812). The conference will feature lessons on the geography of Champlain Valley, focusing on its importance during three wars in colonial times. The conference will have lessons inside the fort, take tours of the Fort and its grounds, and a driving tour of the La Chute River, which drains Lake George.

This workshop will be open to all teachers of New York, and possibly neighboring states and Canada. Preference will be given to members of Alliances. We are still in the planning stage, and the events page will be updated with new information as it arrives. Those that are interested can take the first step in registration now.
