Overview
Join us for this informational webinar and learn about traveling with the VIRGINIA GEOGRAPHIC ALLIANCE in June, 2026 to experience, reflect, and commemorate 250 years of US independence in one of the most dynamic and critical geographic areas in American and world history. Fort Ticonderoga, Lake George, Fort William Henry, Lake Champlain, Saratoga, Fort Orange (Albany), and the Mohawk Valley contain some of the most significant sites and situations that shaped the U.S. This 7-day experience will provide participants with the opportunity to visit historic sites and museums while working with scholars and archivists to consider and reflect on the significance of our country’s semiquincentennial through a geographic and multi-perspective lens. Selected participants will receive a stipend for successfully completing the experience and creating a lesson plan. Local program travel expenses covered by VGA.
