POSTCARD FROM TICONDEROGA, NEW YORK

While visiting Lake George we decided to go on a mini adventure up north, we didn’t have a specific plan when we hit the road so we really just winged the whole day by exploring as much as we could in Ticonderoga.

Our first stop was visiting the Heritage Museum & Visitor Center, we had a full day to explore Ticonderoga so we wanted to take full advantage of everything there was to do.

We started walking toward Bicentennial Park from the Visitor Center and we came across this super neat covered bridge that led us directly to the falls.

Immediately after crossing the covered bridge we came to the cutest place to watch the falls or even have a nice little lunch with a view. We stayed at the Falls of the La Chute for a good half hour before looking for a place to have lunch.

There are a few restaurants along Montcalm Street but a great place for breakfast or lunch is Libby’s. They have some really awesome freshly baked goods and sandwiches! Plus, it’s super affordable!

After walking down Montcalm Street we decided to just drive around Ticonderoga. At the end of Montcalm Street there is a round-about with a neat little monument, if you take the first exit the Ticonderoga Historical Society is the first building on the right. If you have the time stop by and view the exhibits of American life under Prohibition.

We spent the majority of our day just driving around residential neighborhoods when we finally made our way down Hague Road. We got some soft serve at Wind-Chill Factory, further down the road we stopped at Lonergan's Antiques.

We started making our way back to Silver Bay, when we noticed this neat little church hitting on top of a little hill on the side of the road. We pulled into the church to get a better look. I personally thought it was pretty neat, it was made of cobblestones and established in 1901.

That concludes our mini trip to Ticonderoga! Although we were just passing by we enjoyed visiting this charming little town and will definitely be stopping by next time we stay in Lake George during the summer.
