TICONDEROGA/OD1793 - Hor. Control Disk - Ticonderoga, NY - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

In Ticonderoga, in the parking lot, is this survey disk, marked "TICONDEROGA."

The mark is located within the grounds of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum. From New York Route 74, just on the east side of a railroad crossing, turn south onto a road and drive to the entrance and an admission booth. After paying admission (see the web site for rates and hours open), travel to the parking lot, and park. From there, look for the road out of the parking lot and back toward New York Route 74, generally in the northwest direction. The mark is in a rock ledge that is flush to the ground, on the northeast side of the road. It is about 100 ft northwest from another survey disk, 'TT 12C,' in another rock exposure.
