| Fort Ticonderoga A very large and impressive fort which had a major influence on the Revolutionary War, and may have determined its outcome. Special event dates are noted on the Web site. Take the Fort Ti Ferry (one of the oldest continually-operating ferries in the country, guided by an underwater cable) to ease into history and slow your pace. A cruise aboard M/V Carillon enables you to see the fort from Lake Champlain, and also provides a wonderful narrated history lesson by Mahlon Teachout, the Captain. "The strength of the Fort exceeds ye most sanguine imagination. Nature and Art are joined to render it impregnable."
