Fort Ticonderoga Museum

Fort Ticonderoga is one of the nation's oldest museums and boasts world class collections – including the largest cannon collection in North America. Museum exhibits at Fort Ticonderoga are displayed in the restored Enlisted Mens' and Officers' Barracks buildings and, beginning in 2008, in the newly restored magasin du Roi or King's Warehouse.

Permanent exhibits depict the natural and strategic geography of the historic landscape of the Ticonderoga peninsula, and the experience of cultures meeting here in peace and conflict across 4,000 years of human history – with particular emphasis on the military campaigns waged here during the French and Indian War and the American Revolution.

New in July 2008, the inaugural exhibition in the restored King's Warehouse, "The Face of War," will be on display through December 2009, presenting a 250th anniversary look at the Battle of Carillon, fought here in 1758 – the greatest French victory in North America during the French and Indian War.

All exhibits are open to the pubic from May 10 through October 20; beginning in October 2008, the temporary exhibit gallery in the King's Warehouse will be open on a reduced schedule from October 21 through May 9. Exhibits in the Enlisted Mens' and Officers' Barracks are not open year-round.
