All of the tours are conducted by the educated staff dressed in accurate 18th century period clothing.

Don’t forget to stop at America’s Fort Café for some lunch. Savor fresh salads from Fort Ticonderoga’s King’s Garden and enjoy a wide variety of sandwiches and daily specials all while taking in the beautiful views of Lake Champlain, Mount Defiance, and the Green Mountains of Vermont.
