Fort Ticonderoga:
Programs & Daily Schedule
Visitors, families, students, teachers, adults, and groups of all ages have long come to Fort Ticonderoga to study first-hand the lessons forged here, in times of war and peace, across the centuries. In addition to our calendar of public programs, we have prepared custom on- and off-site programs for wide ranging audiences. We look forward to sharing our story with you!

- For students on-site – Chaperoned student and youth groups may register to participate in "America's First Victory," our award-winning children's education program about Ethan Allen's capture of the Fort in 1775.
- For students off-site – Our trained museum educators bring history to life in your classroom using dynamic techniques of first-person interpretation, and through artifact- and primary source-based instruction. These supplementary curricula meet state learning standards and cover such topics as military garrison life in the 18th-century. Classroom outreach programs can be scheduled for schools within our service area and beyond by appointment.
- For adults – Scholars and amateur enthusiasts meet at the Fort each year to delve into the history surrounding the military campaigns fought here during the annual War College of the Seven Years War in the spring, and the Seminar on the American Revolution held each fall.
- For military personnel – Fort Ticonderoga also has a long tradition of conducting military "staff rides" for uniformed and civilian defense personnel, who come to study modernday applications for lessons learned on the battlefield here during the 18th-century.
Beginning in spring 2008, the new on-site education center will host educational programs on a year-round basis. Greater remote learning capabilities also will be created with the opening of the new education center.
