Fort Ticonderoga 

On Lake Champlain, Fort Ticonderoga was once a crucial hub during the Indian and French War and the Revolutionary War. Fort Ticonderoga was restored as a living museum, complete with barracks, kitchens, cannons, and an exquisitely kept garden, following a meticulous renovation process in the 20th century.

The fort now serves as a recognized national landmark and holds daily tours, exhibits, and battle reenactments. Recent visitors particularly praised the historical ambiance of Fort Ticonderoga, saying that the reenactments and presentations made it simple to imagine what it’s like to be a soldier there.

Lake George

Lake George Area is blessed every year with mounds of snow, streams that sparkle with a layer of thick ice, and the solitude of the Adirondack woodland. Winter activities are made possible by the biting cold and blowing snow. At Winter Carnivals held all around the region, people from all walks of life come together to celebrate the richness of winter. In January and February, large blocks of ice are chiseled and sculpted into ice bars, which serve as the inspiration for amazing get-togethers. Or if you stay at the hotel you can do arts and crafts as we have plenty of stencils and paint to make whatever you want.
