The Fort is open May 3 through October
26, 2008
By 1689, the British and French were the predominate nations in the
New World. Wars for land, water passages and trade had been fought
between these nations for years on the European continent, spilling
over into North America. The final conflict, 1754-1763, is known as
the French & Indian War and the Seven Years War.
Sitting atop a small rise, Fort William Henry commanded the southern
end of Lake George November 1755 to August 1757. The Fort’s history
is short but its final tumultuous days have been retold, although
inaccurately, in the
“Last of the Mohicans” by James Fennimore
Cooper.
We hope you will visit us during the 250th Anniversary of the French & Indian War
and experience the history!.
