Support the Fort: Fundraising Events
Officers' Dinner guests
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. In 2009, Fort Ticonderoga celebrates a century of preservation supported by admission fees, private philanthropy, grants, and the generosity of donors and members.
One way the Fort both educates individuals and gains support is by holding special fundraising events that entertain as well as educate. Please consider attending one of these events that pique your interest! For more information, contact:
