Trail sign at parking lot. From this central point, four trails take the visitor to various parts of the fortress which consists of foundations and the remains of defensive fieldworks. Unfortunately, we had no lunch and little time, so decided to visit the visitor centre and return another time to spend a day walking the trails. It is really a huge site.

The excellent visitor centre.

Relatively little of the centre uses this kind of two dimensional display.

Artist's conception of the fotress, based on extant remnants.

Three dimensional figure with holographic face. This one did not work - a common happening with this technology.

Effective use is made of touch screen information.

The interior decoration, which makes extensive use of naturally finished wood, is attractive and complements the subject matter.

This "talking head" DID work - and it was very good, with the right vocabulary and accent.

Returning to Ticonderoga for a late lunch, I spotted these signs in a restaurant that looked like the dead spit of Arnold's place in the TV series "Happy Days".
