Great People and A Wonderful Resource
The Ticonderoga Historical Society is located in a beautiful Georgian style home at 6 Moses Circle, Ticonderoga. The building was constructed in 1926 and patterned after the Hancock House in Boston, built in the 1730's. There is a gift shop, a museum, and very helpful people who are attentive and know their history. The building is open 10-4, Wednesday-Saturday, year round. If you have an interest in history, and the time, this museum is worth a stop. The gift shop has many very interesting books at reasonable prices.
