The Ticonderoga Ball\u2019s theme this year is inspired by Fort Ticonderoga\u2019s 2016 annual focus on the year 1777. That was the year that British and American troops vied for control of Ticonderoga, with the British cannon ultimately compelling the American army to evacuate. Support for this event makes possible Fort Ticonderoga\u2019s educational programs, exhibitions, gardens, and all other preservation and restoration efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ticonderoga Ball attracts more than 170 people each year who attend in support of Fort Ticonderoga\u2019s mission of preservation and education. The Event Honoree for the 22nd Annual Ball is Phebe Thorne, longtime Fort Ticonderoga supporter and enthusiastic advocate of Fort Ticonderoga\u2019s mission. The night begins with a cocktail reception and silent auction at 7 pm; followed by an elegant dinner at 8 pm. A live auction and dancing complete the night. Dance music will be provided by the Lester Lanin Orchestra, known for their unique, homogenized music with lively patina. For more information or to receive an invitation, please contact Martha Strum at 518-585-2821 or by emailing mstrum@fort-ticonderoga.org.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Ticonderoga is an independent non-profit educational organization.
