Take A Drive! Fort Ticonderoga! Daily Events! Awesome! CLICK HERE!
TWO WARS. FIVE BATTLES. ONE FORT.
Every year at Fort Ticonderoga is a new story!
Relive the defining moments in America’s history when nations fought to control a continent. Located within the shadow of the Adirondack Mountains and overlooking Vermont’s picturesque Green Mountains, Fort Ticonderoga guards the historic portage between Lake Champlain and Lake George. The French and their native allies failed to conquer this region during the French & Indian War. And a generation later, the British failed during the Revolutionary War. In the end, Americans controlled Lake Champlain, and therefore controlled the continent.
Each day in July and August, the Fife and Drum Corps play songs containing important information, known as “duty tunes.” From reveille in the morning to tattoo at night, or sounding of the alarm and calling to arms, the Fifes and Drums regulate days at the fort today. New! Corn Maze opens this weekend Sat., August 11 – It’s great fun! Kids Love it!
