Fort Ticonderoga,
formerly Fort Carillon, is a large 18th-century star fort built by
the French at a narrows near the south end of Lake Champlain in
northern New York in the United States. It was constructed by
Canadian-born French military engineer Michel-Alain
Chartier de Lotbinière, Marquis de Lotbinière between October 1755
and 1757 during the Seven Years' War, often referred to as the French and
Indian War in the US. It was of strategic importance during the
18th-century colonial conflicts between Great Britain and France, and again
played an important role during the American Revolutionary War.
Very interesting! Would love to visit the fort. Thanks for posting.
