Preservation & Stewardship:
How You Can Help
The Pavilion
Maintaining our landscapes helps preserve features from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries that are an important part of the Fort Ticonderoga story. The gardens, fields, woodlands, and open areas enable our visitors to experience a variety of scenery on the peninsula. Volunteers are needed to further our mission of stewardship and help our guests enjoy these special areas. Contact Heidi teRiele Karkoski, heidi@fort-ticonderoga.org or (518) 585-2821 x225 for more information about the following opportunities:
