Go back in time and experience history first-hand at Fort Ticonderoga. Built in 1755, for use by the French in the French and Indian War, the fort also served as an important post in the American Revolution. Costumed interpreters, a fife and drum band and musket demonstrations help to bring the fort back to life. You can take a 30-minute guided tour and view the exhibits at the museum to learn about the fort in detail.
