Overview

Fort William Henry Museum stands on the site of the British fort built in 1755 to guard the corridor between New York and Canada, famous for the 1757 siege by the Marquis de Montcalm. A reconstructed fort on the southern shore of Lake George lets you explore barracks, walls, and quarters, with costumed interpreters, guided tours, cannon firings, and archaeological exhibits. The story inspired James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans.
