Ticonderoga was at one time one of the premier industrial sites in the Northeast. Originally because of the water power provided by the LaChute falling 230 feet in a short distance in the Village. By the time this photo was taken, steam supplied a great deal of that power. Coal was a relatively inexpensive commodity due to it being hauled as a backhaul (cheap freight) from Kingston, NY after delivering iron ore to New York and New Jersey.
