Visitors to the Lake George Battlefield can see the sites of the Battle of Lake George (1755), which was part of the siege of Fort William Henry (1757) and a major military camp throughout the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The site also housed a hospital and supply base during the early years of the American Revolution (1755-1783). The ruins of an unfinished fort, begun in 1759 and now called Fort George, and numerous other buildings and fortifications can be found throughout the site. Native Americans, explorers, and many other people figure into the history of the site. Many monuments and interpretive panels can be found throughout the Park which commemorate and explain the role the site plays in American (and Canadian) history.
