There's a new article on the current events coming out today in the NY Times (Sept. 4). I'm personally opposed to the sale of anything to pay the bills, and legally so is the state of New York, so it is doubtful that the collection will be compromised. My grandfather John Pell and his parents Stephen and Sarah put their lives and fortunes into rebuilding the fort and putting together this amazing collection. It was a mistake for the director to publicize the "option" of selling any artwork or artifacts, as it is not a legal option. In this case, bad publicity is good, if it has prevented a very bad decision from being made behind closed doors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-30866901572750842762008-08-13T00:07:00.000-04:002008-08-13T00:07:00.000-04:00Well, it wouldn't be the first time the fort was "...Well, it wouldn't be the first time the fort was "taken over." :)EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-36812713446275518652008-08-12T18:54:00.000-04:002008-08-12T18:54:00.000-04:00I think it's pathetic that Fort Ticonderoga is not...I think it's pathetic that Fort Ticonderoga is not owned by the federal government. Maybe it's time that "we the people" insisted on a government takeover. That would put a stop to the selling off of the fort's treasures.CaliforniaTeacherGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765655907043136511noreply@blogger.com
