If not for a little virus goin’ ’round, I would have returned by now to Ticonderoga, NY, to visit the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour. William Shatner has been a guest there quite a few times, and he loves the place.
Working from original blueprints, the attention to detail in recreating the sets is uncanny. I’ve added labels to this photo of a model showing the layout exactly as it was created for the original series. I think the only thing I missed is the ladder in the middle of the corridor.
Everything aboard the USS Enterprise happens somewhere in those areas. Seeing the sets exactly as the actors did is an experience that brings a new appreciation for the series.
Here’s a picture of the corridor. There’s the ladder.
