From the ChairmanSandy Morhouse
D
uring 1755 and previously, Governor Pierre de
Rigaud de Vaudreuil of Canada had been doing
some long-range planning for the fortification of New
France against the British. This resulted in Vaudreuil’s
directive to Michel Chartier de Lotbiniere to embark to
Fort St. Frederick on Lake Champlain (today’s Crown
Point) and commence the fortification of the “critical
Carillon peninsula,” nine miles to the south. Thus was
born Fort Carillon, subsequently known as “the old
French fort” by the Americans at Ticonderoga. 1756, the
year we will be interpreting this season, was its foundation
year – a year, which, I think, bears much similarity to 2015.
Like Governor Vaudreuil, we at Fort Ticonderoga have also been doing some longrange planning, and 2015 promises to be the foundation year for the next chapter in our
storied history. 2015 will see the integration of our waterways into the Fort Ticonderoga
experience and will lay the groundwork for the implementation of a broader strategic plan
and a bold future.
We could never be where we are today without you, our dedicated donors and supporters.
It is to acknowledge your generosity of the past, and to earn your generosity in the
future, that we at Fort Ticonderoga strive for excellence. I am privileged to chair a board
whose wisdom and vision have positioned us to accomplish great things. The board in
turn is privileged to have retained the services of the absolutely best staff in the museum
and destination industries – a staff that personifies its indomitable leader, Beth Hill.
Lotbiniere has passed the mantel to Beth Hill, in whose capable hands now lies the
challenge of “fortifying” the critical Carillon peninsula for all time.

Chairman, Board of Trustees
“Perhaps the largest ‘artifact’ in our collection is the Ticonderoga
peninsula itself, thousands of acres of land that bear witness, from
the shore of Lake Champlain to the height of Mount Defiance, to the
struggles that defined the nations of Europe and America.”

fort’s majestic walls, our visitors are forever touched
by the “Fort Ticonderoga Effect,” experiencing the
power of place and story to transcend time.
W
hen the French soldiers from the
Compagnies Franches de la Marine
arrived in 1756 to Fort Carillon (later named
Ticonderoga), they carried their flag with the
motto, “Per Mare Et Terras” (“By Water And
Land”). With each log and stone, these soldiers
built Carillon, the front line of New France,
providing a solid foundation for a place that would
in part define the future of North America. Its
significance reverberated across the globe as the
site at the epicenter of the French and Indian War
and American Revolution. In subsequent centuries,
Ticonderoga has continued to serve as the heart of
American memory.
Today Fort Ticonderoga is defining the historical
experience for the next generation of museumgoers. We have an unparalleled stage – on both
water and land – for learning, immersion, discovery,
and inspiration. Whether by water aboard our new
Carillon Cruise Boat, or by land on our battlefield
hiking trail, in our beautiful gardens, or within the
A letter from Beth
As we launch our 2015 season and bring 1756 to
life, it is our responsibility and pleasure to look
back at 2014’s significant accomplishments made
possible by your generous support. This Annual
Report will share gains with you in our educational
reach and attendance, our archives and collections,
our facilities and landscapes, our staff and volunteer
talent, our membership and financial support, and
our operations.
We have built a strong foundation just as the
soldiers did in 1756. “The Fort Ticonderoga
Way” enabled the implementation of important
initiatives while we planned, resulting in increased
resources, awareness, and support, while expanding
education impact. Your support has made possible
stunning growth in our ability to educate and
inspire a thriving audience. Please stay tuned . . . we
have just begun to unfold the possibilities on water
and land and far beyond!

Back to the Future
ort Ticonderoga as a comprehensive museum and historic site is matched
by the breadth of its collections. As we plan our future, in many ways we
are going back to the intent of our 20th century museum founders, Stephen and
Sarah Pell, who viewed museum collections as central to the experience of the
broader site. We can better understand the conflicts that shaped North America
through a lens that highlights the soldiers and civilians caught in these great
events. From several hundred thousand archaeological items to this hemisphere’s
most comprehensive collection of 18th-century military material culture, the
museum collections are the foundation for the programs that span our 2000-acre
campus on the shores of Lake Champlain.
Our Talent. In 2014, we made accessibility to the museum’s worldrenowned collections as well as their preservation and exhibition a priority
and a commitment. With Fort Ticonderoga’s future in mind, the museum staff
welcomed a new curator, exhibition fabricator, and collection’s manager to better
preserve and interpret the vast collections including archaeological items, objects,
clothing, art, archive and library collections.
Our Storage and Access.
Over 250 boxes of institutional archives were
re-housed last year at Fort Ticonderoga’s new collections storage facility,
making room at the Thompson Pell Research Center for a large portion of
4
our archaeological collection. This provides better access to the archaeology
collection for current staff and the 2015 Summer Collections Fellow. New
partnerships with archaeology professionals will help inform future cataloging,
making it accessible to staff and visiting researchers via a future on-line database.
Collections Speed Dating? We implemented a weekly “Collection’s
Speed Dating” program open to all staff. Inventories of uniform, canteen,
gorget, powder horn, and headgear collections were made. The data was entered,
discoveries were made, and new information was shared resulting in the creation
of 371 new records. Training has been provided to all staff members who can
now utilize the collection’s database across departments.
Making Room For New Exhibits. With limited climate controlled
exhibition space, curatorial and collections staff have systematically removed
100 objects from aging exhibits and valuable maps in need of archival care. New
exhibits are being installed featuring less sensitive materials and making the
best use possible of space limitations. The Soldier’s Barracks will boast four new
exhibits this summer including: “Diorama-rama: History in Miniature’; “Object
Lessons: Perspectives on Material Culture”; “Iron & Stone: Building Fort
Carillon”; and “1756: The Frontline of New France.”
History Makers
“T
“ hat was so cool!” exclaimed a 10-year-old boy visiting Fort
Ticonderoga on a glorious Adirondack June day. Pungent smoke
from a musket demonstration gave way to the aroma from the camp
kitchen of the soldier’s noon day dinner comprised of pork and fresh
vegetables from the King’s Garden.
Fort Ticonderoga’s daily programs are visceral, exciting, and
experiential... a “cool” way for students of all ages to learn from our
interpretive staff. Each year these “history makers” pour over thousands
of archival records, examine hundreds of objects, and create the seasonal
garments and accoutrement to tell a unique story.
Fort Ticonderoga is the only site in the world that tells a new story
each year. By doing so, interpretive staff give visitors a fresh and
unparalleled presentation that transcends the narrative and transports
them in time. Their
knowledge is informed
“We must think of our site
by Fort Ticonderoga’s
world-class collections, the
as a museum that has a fort,
landscape, and even the
rather than a fort that has a
water that surrounds the site.
museum.”
George M. Jones III, Trustee

Ticonderoga offered more than 2,500 programs and tours including the
“Key to the Continent” Tour, “Mount Defiance: Witness to History”
Tour, “Breaking Ground” Tour of the King’s Garden, and “Guns by
Night.” The ambitious schedule of Fort Ticonderoga’s “history makers”
parallels their commitment to excellence, ensuring that each guest is
given an unforgettable experience. In the process, a new “history maker”
may be inspired.

Destination Education!
F
ort Ticonderoga is committed to creating an educational adventure
for students of all ages that integrates our water, land, mountains,
world-renowned collections, and epic story. Our goal is to inspire through
Ticonderoga’s narrative, creating a platform to engage our audiences in discussion
of leadership, research analysis, and multi-faceted discovery.
Curriculum-aligned student programs, which span our entire learning campus—
from bastion, to garden, to lake—trigger an unforgettable experience while
shaping student understanding of the past and providing insight to the present
and future. School outreach programs carry Ticonderoga’s epic story across the
region and beyond, focusing on the early months of the American Revolution
at Ticonderoga. In so doing, students integrate history, math, geography, and
English language arts.
At Fort Ticonderoga in 2014
“Through Fort Ticonderoga’s vision and
strategic plan, its education department
offers numerous opportunities for students,
teachers, history enthusiasts and museum
staff to participate in cutting-edge
programs. For educators, Fort Ticonderoga
offers wonderful learning opportunities
structured in deep content understanding
and sound educational practices. In the last
few years, Fort Ticonderoga has significantly
increased its rich program offerings…now
is a wonderful time to be part of the ‘ripple
effect’ by supporting this mission.”

Overnight education destination programs for students and scout groups from
across the country enable a deep dive into Ticonderoga’s story of empire and
nation building while teaching students basic skills in historic trades, soldiers’
lifeways, global economics, and historical research.
Fort Ticonderoga is a nationally recognized resource in historic education. We
believe in empowering our teachers and connecting them to internationally
renowned scholars and cutting-edge research. In 2014 we hosted various
teacher workshops and programs including the prestigious NEH Landmarks
of American History Culture Workshop and the weeklong residential Fort
Ticonderoga Teacher Institute. Eighty teachers participated, impacting thousands
of students.
A Fort Ticonderoga-sponsored panel of scholars, leadership professionals, and
military strategists met in Washington DC in October 2014 to discuss how
our epic story could serve as a focal point for discussion of current and relevant
leadership issues. This meeting served as the foundation for the newly emerging
Fort Ticonderoga Center of Strategic Leadership Studies, helping us fulfill our
mission to learn from our history. The Battle of Valcour and Ticonderoga’s role in
preparing for the battle to control Lake Champlain (and the broader ChamplainHudson corridor) will be the focus of a trial program in 2015-’16.
“We support Fort Ticonderoga because it has been a
pleasure to see history come alive through the eyes
of our children. A history they can see and touch
excites them beyond what any book can provide,
and lessons punctuated by the beat of horses’
hooves and musket fire seem to have staying power. “

Thank you to the generous
support from Thomas B.
Hagen and the New York
State Council on the Arts
that enabled much-needed
restoration work on the
Officer’s Barracks in 2014.
The project enabled
additional space to be open
to the public for programming
on the second floor and
allowed for
working
fire places
in the
interpretive
spaces.

My history with Fort
Ticonderaga started at an
early age. When I was a child,
my father, Eben Wright Pyne,
talked about Fort Ticonderoga
at the dining room table after
visiting John and Pyrma Pell
at the Pavilion. When father
was in his 80’s, he wrote
about his mother, Leta Wright
Pyne, whose mother was a Pell. Because of his love for her and
her interest in the Fort, he gave a gift in her memory. My favorite
(and only!) Aunt, Alison Pyne Ewing, was thrilled that my husband
Peter and I had taken an interest. Having seen this beautiful and
historical place, Peter joined the Pyne clan and became one of the
major benefactors of an annual “Corbin Shoot.” We support Fort
Ticonderoga today because of Beth Hill and her staff, who make this
incredible story vibrant and exciting to people of all ages. Lillian and Peter Corbin, Millbrook, NY
