The Ticonderoga Heritage Museum, located on the edge of Bicentennial Park in downtown Ticonderoga, exhibits and educates our community and its visitors on the Industrial Heritage of our area. Better known as the “1888” building, the Museum is the last remaining structure of the Ticonderoga Pulp and Paper Company that once covered the entire park area. The Museum has on a rotating display, several of the over 38 scale models of various industries that were responsible for the growth of this town situated on the LaChute River that connects land between two lakes: Lake George and Lake Champlain.
The Museum presents a morning children’s summer program twice weekly during the month of July and August. Geared for children 5 to 12 years of age, the program is designed to entertain and introduce children to the industrial heritage of the area, and to what life was like several generations ago. A hands-on craft or project is done to take home as well. Adult programs are also scheduled one or two times a month in the afternoon or evening. Please check our calendar for dates and times. Unless specific material is needed, all our programs are admission free, however, donations are accepted.
