Graduate Fellowships at Fort Ticonderoga

Job Title: Intern

Location: Ticonderoga, NY

Qualifications
Fort Ticonderoga offers four graduate fellowships for students seeking a practical, hands-on internship experience at a historic site and museum with cutting-edge programs. Positions available June 9-August 15, 2025, include fellowships in Exhibitions, Education, and Collections.

Details
While working individually with their project supervisors, fellows will also meet and work together throughout the two-month experience. Fellows will have an opportunity to work with Fort Ticonderoga’s professional staff as part of our team approach to all major projects. Professional development opportunities during the fellowships will include visits from outside scholars and field trips. In general, project-specific work will encompass about 75% of the fellow’s time.
