Don't miss the must-attend event of the summer. Spirited best-of-competition, Exclusive Experiences Auction, and Silent Auction action. The Garden Party will be the Fort's premier summer fundraising event.

Gardens have been part of Ticonderoga’s history for centuries. French, British and American armies found nourishment in the vegetables grown in the fertile gardens located below the fort walls along the shores of Lake Champlain.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, the lush and historic landscape transformed into a unique private country American estate.

Museum founders celebrated Ticonderoga’s defining Colonial and Revolutionary history while adding new gardens and orchards to the landscape. Today visitors to the 6-acre King’s Garden explore centuries of garden history, savor the fragrant heritage flowers, and discover how Fort Ticonderoga cultivates its gardens today to feature its incredible history and create curated culinary experiences and sustainable agricultural practices.
