The Town of Ticonderoga received a $158,048 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior National Park Service through the Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants program (CFDA 15.928) to acquire and permanently preserve 0.5 acres of historically significant battlefield land at Fort Ticonderoga in New York. The award, obligated on July 31, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2028, represents a non-federal acquisition effort executed in partnership with the American Battlefield Trust, which acquired the property, and the Lake Champlain Land Trust, which will hold the conservation easement. The funding supports the permanent protection of Revolutionary War battlefield lands through the purchase of property interests that restrict future development while ensuring public access and long-term stewardship.

This grant exemplifies the Battlefield Land Acquisition Grants program's mission to preserve threatened historic battlefields from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War through fee-simple acquisition or preservation covenants. The award required a dollar-for-dollar non-federal cost match, with the beneficiary being state and local governments in the project area. The acquisition of the Hunsdon Tract contributes to the documentation and preservation of one of the 677 Revolutionary War and War of 1812 battlefields identified in the 2007 Historic Preservation Study.
