The Northern Department 250th Anniversary Celebration
Northern Department 250th Anniversary Celebration
In June of 1775, the Continental Congress established the Northern Department, a military department of the Continental Army charged with administering most of northern New York State and the surrounding region. Today’s Northern Department links Revolutionary historic sites and museums in New York, Vermont, and Québec that formed the historic department, to introduce new generations to the remarkable legacy of one of North America’s most concentrated historic regions.
