Each year over 90,000 people from throughout the world are welcomed to Fort Ticonderoga, a not-for-profit administered by the Fort Ticonderoga Association.

The Fort is much more than a restored military fortress. Your visit will include rich and varied offerings including costumed interpreters, 30-minute guided tours, a world class museum, daily musket demonstrations, and self-guided tours of the Fort.

Visit the Fort Ticonderoga National Historic Landmark and come away with a deeper understanding of American history from the French and Indian War and Revolutionary War periods of the 18th century.

You'll experience the meanings of freedom, personal sacrifice, and public responsibility – as the stories of the men, women, and children whose lives became entwined in the colonial wars unfold through the Fort's collections, educational programs, and reenactments.

Season and Hours Open
May 18 - Oct. 18, 2012 9:30 am – 5:00 pm daily (Last ticket sold at 4:30 pm)
