Why you should go…

Fort Ticonderoga was built by the French between 1755 and 1757 as Fort Carillon, near the south end of Lake Champlain. Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold seized it from the British on May 10, 1775, early in the Revolutionary War. Today you can walk the fort, see museum exhibitions, watch guided tours and weapon demonstrations and visit the King's Garden. The site covers 2,000 acres, and daily general admission tickets are valid for two consecutive days.
