About 30 minutes southwest of the Inn straddling the lower end of Lake Champlain are two Revolutionary War sites that are not to be missed by you lovers of history. On the Vermont side is Mount Independence and on the New York side, after a short Ferry ride is Fort Ticonderoga. Both will give insight into some of the great battles of this time in our history.
