Yet it’s both a gateway to some of America’s greatest natural wonders and one of the most fought-over sites in North America. During the French and Indian War and, later, in the American Revolution, armies battled fiercely for control of Fort Ticonderoga, which was strategically placed to protect waterways leading to two major centers of trade—New York City and Montreal. Today you can visit the turreted stronghold, which was restored during the early 20th century. Check out 18th-century swords and cannons, or learn more about military history with musket-firing demonstrations and fife-drum period marches. You can even see the past come to life during historical reenactments and living history events.Ticonderoga and the surrounding area resembles a postcard: Summer’s rolling, green mountains turn warm hues of red and orange in the fall; come winter, snow transforms the forests into havens for cross-country skiing and ice-fishing
