The Publications of Fort Ticonderoga
All of these publications may be purchased
from Fort Ticonderoga’s Museum Store.
Fort Ticonderoga began publishing a scholarly journal, The
Bulletin, in 1927. For many years, The Bulletin appeared
twice a year. In 1991 we resumed regular publication as an annual. The journal
provides a scholarly forum for historical work on the 18th-century wars of
empire and freedom in the Champlain Valley. Current editorial policy seeks to
(a) create thematic issues, (b) deal with the northern campaigns of the Seven
Year’s War and the American Revolution, (c) include both edited primary
documents and interpretive essays, and (d) analyze the surviving artifacts in
the Fort Ticonderoga collections. We actively recruit a wide circle of authors.
Write the Editor at the Fort address or email fort@fort-ticonderoga.org.
The Bulletin is offered as a benefit of membership in
the "Friends of Fort Ticonderoga" at the "Supporter" level
and above. Complimentary copies are mailed to state libraries, state historical
societies, and major colleges and universities in the Northeast. Many back
issues since the 1940s are available for $10. The Bulletin is
published in an edition of 750 copies.

Fort Ticonderoga Bibliographies have been prepared by
museum staff primarily as guides to the manuscript and rare-book collections
preserved in the museum’s Thompson-Pell Research Center, but also include
other materials. These Research Bibliographies are computer-based
to provide for easy updating. Researchers are encouraged to suggest additions or
corrections. Because so many facets of the Fort’s story are inter-connected,
researchers should also check bibliographies for related subjects.
The Haversack
Since autumn 1991, Fort Ticonderoga has published The
Haversack as a twice-a-year (16 pages) newsletter for Friends of Fort
Ticonderoga. Typically the spring issue announces special events for the coming
season; the autumn issue reports on the season just past and describes
behind-the-scenes activities at the museum.

J. Robert Maguire, The Tour to the Northern Lakes of
James Madison & Thomas Jefferson, May-June 1791
The two future presidents escaped the political heat in
Philadelphia, the capital of the new nation, and made a botanical tour to Lake
George and Lake Champlain. While visiting the ruins of Fort Ticonderoga, they
stayed in the former "King’s Store," a stone warehouse built near
the Fort by the French in 1756, and later operated by Mrs. Hays as the first inn
at the south end of the lake.
