Star Trek Ticonderoga NY

[Autocad]

Not sure where to put this. So if there's another place for this please move it. Anyway about 6 years ago I was in New York and I went to the Star Trek Museum in Fort Ticonderoga New York. I had a blast. I really did.
They had a complete set of TOS that we could walk all over.

So who else has been there?

I have over ~10 years. Should attend the Shatner event this July.

I made the pilgrimage to Ticonderoga, NY in 2022 and took the guided tour with my 2 adult sons. They humored me, but I think they enjoyed themselves too. Got a nice picture of me in the captain's chair with them manning the helm stations. Took a ton of pictures. I really liked the original props in the "museum " section in the lobby. Said hello to James in the lobby, but he wasn't very engaging. Had a really nice time there, hope to go back soon.

I think @Chris PikE might have been there…

It is wonderful and well well well worth time time and treasure.

 

[1001001]

I thought for sure @Chris PikE would have stopped by and shared. He’s got some awesome pictures from there.

 

[Chris PikE]

YES!!!Been there over 12 times, 4 with Shatner! In fact I will be there again July 11 though the 15th for the Shatner event!

Yep! I went back in 2016, and I had a blast. It was about a four hour drive for me in NJ. Doug Drexler was the one leading the tour, and he was able to speak very knowledgably about Matt Jefferies' original designs for the Enterprise.

I wrote about my experience here (some of the pictures are no longer active, but you can still see most of them):

I'd love to go back there again and see what changes they've made in the last eight years, but that'll have to wait until I have the money.

I will be there then, as well.

After wanting to go for years I finally made the (heh) trek there last weekend.

Freakin' amazing!!

We paid the extra $25/person for the photo tour. Well worth it and I strongly recommend anyone who visits to do that. You don't see anything extra and the tour isn't any longer but it is a private tour for your group. So for me it was just me and my wife on the tour. What that means is you have more time to look at and take pictures of things and have pictured taken of you because you don't have to get out of the way to give someone else a chance. You also get to sit in a few places (like at the desk in Kirk's quarters) that people on regular tours don't get to do.

I wish I could remember the name of our guide because she was a total TOS geek and did a superb job.

Now I want to convince some of my other TOS fan friends to go and I want to go with them, both to see the sets again and to be able to watch their faces when they walk into some of those rooms.

Definitely something any serious TOS Trekkie should try to do IMHO!

I'd love to go but it's not practical. The closest I've come is walking around the sets and various Enterprises in SteamVR (which is pretty epic)

I was born in the 1980s, so I never saw the original series and have only moderate interest in seeing the TOS sets. I’m waiting for them to finish their TNG bridge.

Perhaps your tour guide was Ashley?

Yeah, I was there in 2016, and it was quite an epic experience. It feels so authentic because every last detail, down to the set layout, was reproduced. It might have changed since I last went, but the building it's in is so unassuming. There's nothing much there to indicate what's inside. You kind of have to know, but IMHO, it's part of the charm, as the building is a former grocery store. And then once you step inside, you might have well stepped through the Guardian and into something truly special. You get not only to step into a replica of the Enterprise, but you get a glimpse into what it must have been like to film on-set for the cast.
