 One of these old state roads traversed the route covered by the current alignment of NY 74 from Schroon to Ticonderoga.The entire length of NY 74 from Ticonderoga to Schroon covers the same route as the 19th century Ticonderoga and Schroon Turnpike, which was chartered in April 1832.Two toll gates were erected specifically for use on the highway, and the charter allowed for additional toll gates at a spacing of approximately one for every ten miles of completed highway.
