Ticonderoga Attractions
In the 1600s, France and England both laid claim to the North American wilderness. By the mid-1700s, the "no-man's-land" of mountains and swamps surrounding Lake George had become a battleground for the two European superpowers.
Lord Jeffery Amherst led a powerful assault on Carillon in 1759 and the French withdrew after blowing up the powder magazine. Leaving Amherst to rebuild the fort he renamed "Ticonderoga." Ticonderoga is an Iroquois word meaning "Land between the waters".
