Fort Ticonderoga (/taɪkɒndəˈroʊɡə/), formerly Fort Carillon, is a large 18th-century star fort built by the French at a narrows near the south end of Lake Champlain, in northern New York, in the United States. It was constructed by Canadian-born French military engineer Michel Chartier de Lotbinière, Marquis de Lotbinière between October 1755 and 1757, during the action in the "North American theater" of the Seven Years' War, often referred to in the US as the French and Indian War. The fort was of strategic importance during the 18th-century colonial conflicts between Great Britain and France, and again played an important role during the American Revolutionary War

we first visited Fort Ticonderoga in Oct of 2008 .... it is a remarkable, historic facility, note the names on the plaque shown in the first picture .... while traveling through all of the lower 48 we have not seen a Fort that can equal it .... its history is remarkable and it is most certainly on our go back to list ....

Thanks for the info and Travelogue Jim!

it is really a fascinating facility .... when considering the era during which it was built, it was really an huge effort that required bunches of folks working long and hard to pull it off
