Lake George is home to a treasure trove of historical attractions and activities, including The Fort William Henry, which was a British fort in the French and Indian War, The Lake George Steamboat Company, which was founded in 1817 allowing easier travel for tourists from New York City to come and enjoy the serenity Lake George has to offer, among many other historical landmarks scattered throughout the village!
Glens Falls has its own lineup of historical landmarks and museums that highlight both local and national history! The Chapman Museum focuses on our local history in hopes to provide perspective and appreciation for the Adirondack Park in its present and future forms. Glens Falls is also home to the Hyde Collection which features world-class pieces from all-over the United States and Europe alike!
Saratoga is packed full of its own history and fascinating museums! Obviously, the iconic Saratoga Casino and Raceway is the main draw for most, but there are many other hidden gems in the city to enjoy. The Canfield Casino, which was once used as a high-class casino, now boasts a stunning space for special events as well as the Saratoga Springs History Museum! Saratoga is home to many other interesting museums including The X-Files Preservation Collection, The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, The Saratoga Automobile Museum, and The New York State Military Museum just to name a few.
