Fort Ticonderoga is a popular historical site in upstate New York, located on the south shore of Lake Champlain. It was originally constructed by the French during the Seven Years’ War and later taken over by American forces during the Revolutionary War. Today it stands as more than just a memorial to an important moment in U.S. history- visitors can walk through original and reconstructed barracks, storehouses, and see genuine cannons to get a true sense of what it was like for soldiers on both sides of this conflict centuries ago. Lasting memories are made as guests immerse themselves in activities such as replica boatbuilding and musket firing while exploring this landmark that has become a symbol of our nation’s relentless pursuit for independence.
