King’s Garden at Fort Ticonderoga: When’s the last time you’ve been to Fort Ticonderoga? We were there a few years ago and loved the history of course, but one of our favorite parts was a picnic in the King’s Garden (check out this post we did a few years ago for photos!). Looks like there’s an event there on Saturday evening, so a Sunday picnic might be your best bet!
