Called by some the “Gibraltar of America” or the “Key to the Continent,” Fort Ticonderoga was one of the most strategically important places in eighteenth-century North America. It is no wonder that battles were fought here during both the French & Indian War (1755-1763) and the American Revolution (1775-1783).
Battles continue to be fought at the Fort, only now in remembrance and not anger. Twice a year historical reenactors bring Fort Ticonderoga’s military history to life through recreated battles, including:
Grand Encampment of the
French & Indian War
June 26 & 27, 2010
Revolutionary War Encampment
September 11 & 12, 2010
While the recreated battles illustrate the drama of eighteenth-century military life, our encampment weekends offer much more. You can visit the recreated camps and discover what life was like for soldiers and their families. You can discover what they did for work and fun, hear the music that organized and entertained them, smell black powder as eighteenth-century weapons are demonstrated, and much more.
We invite you to join us and explore the history that helped shape your world.
