William Shatner Returns to Ticonderoga for a November Star Trek Weekend

William Shatner appearing at the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga.

Captain Kirk is making another trip to the Adirondacks.

William Shatner returns to the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga November 13–15, 2026, for three days of Enterprise tours, personal appearances, photographs, autographs, and conversations with the man who made James T. Kirk a television legend.

At 95, Shatner shows little inclination to surrender the captain's chair. His latest appearance comes less than five months after his June visit, reinforcing Ticonderoga's unlikely status as a destination for Star Trek fans from far beyond the Adirondacks.

William Shatner Weekend brings the Captain back to Ticonderoga.

There's something wonderfully improbable about finding the USS Enterprise on Montcalm Street in downtown Ticonderoga.

Inside a former grocery store, Star Trek enthusiast James Cawley has recreated the original 1960s television series sets with extraordinary attention to detail. Visitors can explore the Bridge, Transporter Room, Sickbay, and other familiar spaces from the show.

The experience is impressive on an ordinary day. Add the original Captain Kirk, and it becomes something altogether different.

November's program includes opportunities to tour the Enterprise with Shatner, join Bridge conversations, and buy photographs and autographs. These are scheduled experiences, with admission requirements varying by package.

A Star Trek tradition in the Adirondacks.

Shatner's relationship with Ticonderoga goes beyond a one-time celebrity appearance.

He has returned repeatedly over the years, including visits in July 2024 and June 2025 and 2026. The Set Tour has even hosted celebrations associated with his 90th birthday.

The attraction itself has become an unexpected part of Ticonderoga's cultural identity. A community better known for Fort Ticonderoga, Revolutionary War history, and its location between Lake George and Lake Champlain has also made its mark in television history.

And the connection keeps growing. In September 2026, the Set Tour welcomed the restored Galileo shuttlecraft, adding another significant piece of Star Trek history to the town's attractions.

ADK Taste recommendation.

Book the experience before booking the hotel. Shatner Weekend is not a typical drop-in museum visit. Special tours, chats, photographs, and autographs follow specific schedules, and some packages require attendance on multiple days.

Organizers also warn that Saturday lines may be longer. Allow time for registration, parking, and moving between the Set Tour on Montcalm Street and presentations at Ticonderoga Elementary School.

Fans traveling from outside the region may find it much easier to stay overnight in Ticonderoga or the surrounding Lake Champlain area than to squeeze everything into one day.
