Meet Our Friendly Animals
Be sure to say hello to our dynamic oxen duo Mick and Mack. You can find them walking around the fort hauling wood or sometimes in the King’s Garden at the barn. Learn how these oxen helped support the soldiers at Ticonderoga and work with us today to haul heavy supplies. They love to see kids and enjoy a friendly pat on their noses!
