8/15 Thursday Part one- Before leaving the area we took some time to look around the Champlain area and Fort Ticonderoga. At Fort Ticonderoga, they have restored the fort to the way it appeared when the French originally built it. When I was there 50+ years ago, it had mostly broken walls and little else. Now it is a real showcase. In addition to the fort complex they are building an educational building.
This fort is located at a narrow part of Lake Champlain so the guns could effectively destroy any enemy ships trying to pass. They have really done a fantastic job of restoring this fort.
