“where America made history!”
A popular attraction, built by the French in 1755, that has been restored to its original condition.
We spent the day exploring the King's Garden and the fort, then drove over to Mount Defiance to see the view of the fort from above. Fun, family friendly trip that can easily fill 4 hours of your day.
Historic fort. Specializes in study of antique cannon. Good support from locals acting out period life. They change the period they portray annually. I wish I could go every year. The cable ferry not far away is a great experience as well.
Fort Ticonderoga, formerly Fort Carillon, is a large 18th-century star fort built by the French at a narrows near the south end of Lake Champlain in northern New York in the United States. It was constructed by Canadian-born French military engineer Michel Chartier de Lotbinière, Marquis de Lotbinière between October 1755 and 1757 during the Seven Years' War, often referred to as the French and Indian War in the US. It was of strategic importance during the 18th-century colonial conflicts between Great Britain and France, and again played an important role during the American Revolutionary War.
