TICONDEROGA — William Shatner is returning to Ticonderoga for another appearance this weekend at the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour.
The Montcalm Street attraction has hosted Shatner, who played Capt. James T. Kirk on the 1965-69 television series, several times before.
Also appearing Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 17, 18 and 19, will be “Picard” Production Designer Dave Blass and Star Trek tribble creator and author David Gerrold of Vermont.
Tickets are available online at startrektour.com/product-category/shatner-november-2023/ and a full schedule is at startrektour.com/2023-11-shatner-schedule/.
Check in starts at 9 a.m. Friday at the Set Tour, with an Admiral’s Dinner featuring Shatner at 7 p.m. at the Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus hall.
There will be various tours and events over the weekend, with Shatner speaking at 4 p.m. Saturday at Ticonderoga High School auditorium.
General admission is $70 a person, with add-ons like photographs and autographs available.
The sets from the original “Star Trek” series are reproduced at the Set Tour, along with hundreds of props and costumes from the show.
The Set Tour was created by “Star Trek” superfan James Cawley, who will also lead a set tour.
“Our sets are complete recreations built using the original blueprints, hundreds of hours of serious research and thousands of photographs, both period images and images culled from extensive review and capture from the original episodes,” Cawley said in a release.
“When the ‘Star Trek’ television series was canceled in 1969, the original sets were dismantled and largely destroyed. Only a few small items of the actual sets remain today, and those that have survived are in private collections.”
At age 92, Shatner is one of the last surviving cast members of the original series, along with Walter Koenig (Ensign Chekov) and George Takei (Lt. Sulu).
