Schumer: New Exhibit Highlighting 18th Century Artillery Will Help Attract More Tourists To This Important American Landmark

Press Release

U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today announced a critical federal grant being awarded to the Fort, in the amount of $150,000. Schumer said this federal grant will help pay for a new exhibit highlighting the fort's extensive collection of 18th century artillery, which will help "revolutionize" the tourist experience and boost attendance to this jewel of a destination.

"With this federal grant, the Fort Ticonderoga Museum will be able to bring their exhibits -- new and old -- to life. It will also allow the museum to support good-paying jobs in Essex County and bring in more tourists looking to learn about that Fort's rich history," said Schumer. "Once the exhibits are complete, guests will be able to marvel at the exquisite artifacts from hundreds of years ago in an interactive and innovative way. I was delighted to have helped secure this funding for the museum and I cannot wait to see the finished product."
