Your
Visit to Fort Ticonderoga
Fort Ticonderoga is a special
place for families to enjoy and learn in a beautiful setting.
Families with young children can visit and know that their children
will love the action and excitement.
|
|
When you visit you will be given
a daily schedule that lists the programs and activities for the day. On a
daily basis the Fort offers guided tours lead by costumed interpreters,
musket demonstrations (weather permitting), and daily programs for
children and families led by staff.
The costumed interpreters represent 18th century
soldiers and refugee women.
In July and
August, families see and hear the Fort's Fife
& Drum Corps perform and march in the Parade Ground. Following the
concert, visitors watch and learn as the Corps fire the cannon. Special
Family Exploration Series are available every Monday and Thursday in July
& August at 10:00 a.m. Be sure to check out our Calendar
of Events, as we host reenactments and other educational events
throughout the season.
