When we are in grade school we often hear about George Washington and how the French and Indian War began in the backwoods of Pennsylvania and little else. What we don’t hear is how what happened in Pennsylvania exploded around the rest of the globe leading to a world war. Fort Ligonier played a crucial role in the taking of Fort Duquesne and events here sent shockwaves throughout the colonies and around the world.
Matt Gault, the Director of Education at Fort Ligonier has been developing programming for the last 8 years. With the help of a great staff, the team at Fort Ligonier has been able to tell the story of those who were at Fort Ligonier and their impact on our history.
