Fort Carillon, French colonial fort in Ticonderoga, United States
The star-shaped fortification stands at a strategic position between Lake Champlain and Lake George, controlling water routes between New York and Quebec.
French military engineer Michel Chartier de Lotbinière constructed Fort Carillon between 1755 and 1757 during the North American theater of the Seven Years War.
The name derives from the Iroquois word tekontaró:ken, indicating the meeting point of two waterways in the native language of the region.
Visitors can explore the restored military compound, view weapon demonstrations, and participate in guided tours from May through October each year.
The fort witnessed the 1758 Battle of Carillon where 4,000 French defenders successfully repelled an attack by 16,000 British troops.
