Ticonderoga Cartoon Museum Collection
The Ticonderoga Cartoon Museum collection, owned by Stan and Cathie Burdick (a cartoonist, himself), consists of over 700 pieces dating from 1830 to the present. The museum features everything from comic books to editorial cartoons. On display are hundreds of signed originals and prints of comics, cartoons, and fantasy art.
 

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.

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.

museumGroup Tours to the Museum
In 2005, we had six or eight busloads and van loads of students and clubs visiting the museum by appointment. We want to entertain more groups. 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.

We'll Come to Your Group
Our director, Stan, will travel to present a cartoon show to your school or club group within a reasonable distance at an appropriate time. Ask for a list of subjects available.
