Overview
Fort Ticonderoga commands a narrow passage on Lake Champlain, built by the French in the mid-18th century and the site of the first American victory of the Revolution in 1775. The capture of its cannon helped force the British out of Boston. The stone fort holds one of the continent's finest collections of 18th-century artifacts, with musket demonstrations, historic trades, and costumed interpreters, plus sweeping views of the lake and mountains.
