Fort Ticonderoga opens a new exhibit for 2023, focusing on the dramatic and wide-ranging end of the global Seven Years’ War. This new exhibit Success: The End of the Seven Years’ War spans both sides of the Atlantic and is anchored by many never-before-seen artifacts.

This new exhibit features artifacts from the museum’s newly acquired Robert Nittolo Collection that complement pieces from Fort Ticonderoga’s existing collection, to visualize the final campaigns in North America, partly launched from Lake Champlain.

Included in the exhibit are Prussian and French artifacts that highlight the ongoing war in Europe, along with British and Spanish artifacts that show the expansion of the conflict with Spain’s belated entry in 1762, culminating in the British siege and capture of Havana, Cuba. The exhibit reveals how the Anglo-American public responded to the unparalleled British victories across the globe by producing and consuming items like punchbowls and teacups that promoted popular commanders and battles.

View this exhibit and many others at Fort Ticonderoga Tuesday-Sunday 10am-5pm.
Castleton University senior Jaron recently completed his spring internship, cataloging 478 records into Fort Ticonderoga's collections database and processing through 3,873 individual artifacts from the Northeast Bastion excavations! This internship program, supported by the Alma Gibbs Donchian Foundation, gives collections management experience to the next generation of archaeologists, museum professionals, and educators. It also helps make Fort Ticonderoga's collections more accessible - a selection of the Jaron's newly cataloged artifacts will be added to the Ticonderoga Online Collections database! #TiconderogaCollections #Archaeology #Archeology #museums #artifacts #catalog #18thcentury #history #militaryhistory #internship

Our newest exhibit, "Underwater Ticonderoga: Archaeology from the King's Shipyard", is now on display! This exhibit examines the history of the King's Shipyard at Ticonderoga, focusing on the British effort to counter the French naval presence on Lake Champlain during the French and Indian War. The exhibit includes artifacts found during the 1980's excavations of the British sloop Boscawen, built in 1759, as well as the recent 2019 survey of the King's Shipyard. Artifacts include rigging equipment, tools, and personal items from British soldiers and sailors. Row yourself over to the Mars Education Center and be sure to check it out! #NationalMaritimeDay 

The 2019 survey was a collaboration of five institutions:  Institute for Nautical Archaeology, Texas A&M University, Lake Champlain Maritime Museum , Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and Fort Ticonderoga. Funding and support for the 2019 King’s Shipyard Survey was provided by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology, South Lake Champlain Fund, and the New York State Museum.  #archaeology #archeology #18thcentury #SevenYearsWar #Britain #ships #navy #artifacts #LakeChamplain #underwater #maritime #nautical
