Fort Carillon

Fort Carillon was a French fort built in the 17th century at the strategic location near Lake Champlain in what is now New York State. Known for its strong defenses, it played a crucial role during the French and Indian War. The fort is best remembered for the 1758 Battle of Ticonderoga, where French forces successfully defended it against a much larger British army. Despite its eventual capture by the British, Fort Carillon is significant for its military history, demonstrating the complex colonial power struggles in North America during that period. Today, it is a site of historical interest.
