About Ticonderoga Heritage Museum.

Montcalm Street in downtown Ticonderoga, inside what's known locally as the 1888 building, the sole surviving piece of the Ticonderoga Pulp and Paper Company complex that once defined this town. Most tourists come to Ticonderoga for the fort. This museum is the other story: how a working town built itself on paper, graphite, and pencil manufacturing. The exhibits trace the actual industries. Ticonderoga Pulp and Paper. International Paper Company. American Graphite Company. The Delaware and Hudson Railroad that moved the product. The displays explain the manufacturing techniques alongside the social history of the workforce, which is the more interesting half. The museum also serves as a Heritage Visitor Center for the Lakes to Locks Passage corridor, which makes it a regional information stop in addition to a local museum. The La Chute Industry Walking Tours are the program element to plan around: guided walks along the La Chute River past the old industrial sites, with interpretation that ties the buildings still standing to the businesses that ran in them. The museum runs creative children's workshops on its calendar. Best for travelers who want the industrial-history side of Ticonderoga that the fort doesn't tell. Confirm current hours and tour schedule directly.
