Additional Room Added
Our expansion is now complete. We now have two rooms in which to show off the more than 600 framed cartoons plus many panels and exhibits. One can't see it all in an hour. Come once, come again. For easy access to the museum, come to the rear of the large Town Building, center of Ticonderoga, park in the rear, come in the rear door, take the elevator down to the lower floor.

Both old and new displays are on hand to study. Some of these are: Charles Dana Gibson and his beautiful Girl Art, Thomas Nast and How His Cartoons Destroyed the Corrupt Tammany Gang; Novice artists display, Stan's Editorial Cartoons, Animation Art, Art of Disney, Fantasy Art with Frazetta, Illusions and Flip Faces, 100 Years of the Comics, Winning Women's Suffrage through Cartoons, How Editorial cartoons are Created, Animal Drawings and Comic Book Over the Years.

All of this delightful display is the result of over 50 years of collecting by director Stan Burdick.
Reference Library
Did you know there are close to 300 books of cartoon reference in our library? students of the comics, both young and older, can spend time in the Book Nook to research your favorite comic characters, even if they are 100 years old. Young artists can find many "how to" books.
Group Tours to the Museum

Teachers, club leaders, senior citizens, please contact us at 518-585-7015 to arrange tours. A school group from far away Proctor, Vermont was here last summer. area schools sent groups of students several times. Ideal size for groups are from 10 to 20.
