Annual Report

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 long-range 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.

“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.”

Matthew Keagle, Curator

By Water and Land A letter from Beth

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 museum-goers. 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

fort’s majestic walls, our visitors are forever touched by the “Fort Ticonderoga Effect,” experiencing the power of place and story to transcend time.

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!

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 world-renowned 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

F 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.”

Back to the Future

“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 by Fort Ticonderoga’s world-class collections, the landscape, and even the water that surrounds the site.

Guests dig into the garden story to uncover Fort Ticonderoga’s layered legacy and ride aboard the Carillon in the wake of epic struggles, becoming witnesses to history unfolding at living history events. In 2014, Fort 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.

“We must think of our site as a museum that has a fort, rather than a fort that has a museum.” George M. Jones III, Trustee

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.

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.

“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. “

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 Champlain-Hudson corridor) will be the focus of a trial program in 2015-’16.

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

2014 Operating ResultsMore than 70,000 guests were served by our staff this past year, with attendance up 4%. Our educational reach showed a 10% growth in field trips, 33% growth in scout attendance, and 49% growth in outreach to regional schools, including 18,000 students.

Operating results reflected these gains, with revenues up 14%, attendance revenue up 5%, and total donor support up 29% vs. 2013. Membership was up 18% and total donor growth was up 14%. Our year-round staff of 16 supported the Fort Ticonderoga Annual Fund, reflecting their passion with 100% participation. And while we are still a relatively small organization, Fort Ticonderoga makes a dispropor-tionate economic impact, of nearly $9 million annually, on the surrounding region and state.

Fort Ticonderoga is an independent, non-profit, 501C3 organization, which aims to break even annually, while investing in our programs, our people and our campus. In 2014, we achieved an $11,000 surplus that was deposited in a reserve fund. Details of our sources and uses of cash are shown here.
