Mission

Fort Ticonderoga is preserved by the Fort Ticonderoga Association, organized in 1931 to carry on the stewardship of the Pell family. The Association is a not-for-profit educational institution chartered by the Regents of the University of the State of New York. A Board of Trustees governs the affairs of the Association. The Association cares for more than 2000 acres of historically significant land in New York and Vermont, including the Fort (a National Historic Landmark), The Pavilion, the Carillon Battlefield, Mount Defiance, Mount Hope and the northern half of Independence.

The Mission of the Fort Ticonderoga Association

The Fort Ticonderoga Association engages, educates, and entertains visitors by sharing the authentic stories of diverse cultures that met at the Ticonderoga peninsula in war and in peace. We accomplish this through accurate historical interpretation, high standards of preservation and management of our world-class collections for exhibition and scholarly research, innovative educational offerings, sustainable horticulture and land stewardship, sound fiscal management and operational excellence.
