Long before the Revolution, the British and the French both claimed Crown Point in the struggle for a North American empire. Four failed campaigns to oust the French between 1755 and 1758 were mounted by the British. It was not until 1759, however, that the abandoned French Fort St. Frederic was taken over by the British. The British immediately began construction of "His Majesty's Fort of Crown Point". This extremely ambitious fortification complex contributed to the British conquest of Canada, the last French stronghold and control of Lake Champlain as a communication highway. In 1775, at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, the rebellious colonists captured the fort and secured sorely needed cannons and heavy ordnance. Crown Point was occupied by General John Burgoyne's army in 1777 after the American evacuation to Mount Independence and remained under British control until the end of the war. The ruins of Fort St. Frederic, "His Majesty's Fort of Crown Point", and surrounding lands were purchased by the State of New York in 1910. Guests can see the ruins of the original 18th-century structures and in the Visitor Center, view exhibits that interpret the French, British, and American chapters of Crown Point's history.

Ticonderoga, NY 518-585-2821 May through October In the early history of North America, a stone fort overlooking Lake Champlain served as an important military base in the struggle between the British and French for control of the region. Fort Ticonderoga, originally named Fort Carillon by the French in 1755 when it was built, was the site of numerous famous battles. In 1759, Lord Jeffery Amherst captured the site from the Marquis de Montcalm. The fort remained under British control until Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys from Vermont caught the British by surprise and captured the fort. In 1908 restoration on the fort began, making Fort Ticnderoga the nation's first restored historical museum. Today the fort is a lively place, where every attempt is made to bring history to life. This little fact makes it particularly attractive to families with children, as the museum offers more than just static displays. Black-powder rifles and cannon-fire drills, fife-and-drum rolls, encampments and re-enactment of battles are all part of the schedule of events. Exhibits within the fort offer artifacts of the battles of the French and Indian Wars and the American Revolution. High Falls Gorge
