The Ticonderoga Institute gives Fort Ticonderoga’s educational mission a dedicated digital home and supports its vision to become a premier center for the study of the early American experience. What was once spread across a broader tourism website is now brought together in a focused platform built for educators and lifelong learners.
Educators have free access to a one-stop hub of classroom-ready lesson plans, primary-source activities, downloadable materials and videos that connect students with the real stories of the American Revolution. Lifelong learners can subscribe for on-demand access to recorded programs, exclusive videos and the complete digital archive of the Bulletin of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum.
The experience is clear and approachable for users while giving Fort Ticonderoga powerful tools behind the scenes. WordPress and MemberPress Pro support secure memberships, gated content, payments, communications, saved resources and future expansion. Flexible content management and detailed reporting let staff keep the platform current, understand engagement, and use data to support outreach, planning, grant documentation and funding proposals.
With the help of its new LMS, the Ticonderoga Institute currently serves more than 3,027 affiliate K-12 schools across all 50 states. Its responsive and scalable design gives this national audience reliable access to trusted educational resources while extending Fort Ticonderoga’s on-demand educational footprint to lifelong learners wherever they are.
The site is the digital foundation for Fort Ticonderoga’s continued growth as a national resource for military history. It makes its content easier to access today and leaves room for new audiences, resources and learning opportunities in the future.
