Fort Ticonderoga, Star fort in Ticonderoga, United States.
Fort Ticonderoga rises at the junction of Lake Champlain and Lake George, featuring diamond-shaped projections that allow defensive crossfire from multiple wall positions.
The French military constructed Fort Carillon, later renamed Fort Ticonderoga, between 1755 and 1757 during territorial conflicts with British forces in North America.
The fort maintains one of North America's largest collections of 18th-century military artifacts, documenting daily life during the French and Indian War period.
Visitors can explore the fort through guided tours, weapon demonstrations, seasonal boat cruises, and garden walks from Tuesday through Sunday between May and October.
The fort's strategic location enabled Henry Knox to transport captured cannons to Boston, providing essential artillery for American forces during the Revolutionary War.
