December 12, 2025Registration encouraged: Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance
The Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance, in association with the Warren County Commission for the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution, is proud to present a series of activities on Friday, December 12 at Lake George to commemorate Henry Knox’s heroic journey through the region in December 1775 that brought 60 tons of badly needed artillery to George Washington’s Continental forces in Boston and force the British to abandon the city.
Lake George’s significance to Knox’s feat cannot be overstated. He stayed at Fort George, on the grounds of today’s Lake George Battlefield Park, for over a week as he finalized plans to move the heavy equipment over a 300-mile route in the dead of winter.
The Alliance is honored to be hosting Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Rick Atkinson (The Fate of the Day) and the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra as part of our tribute to Henry Knox and his Noble Train of Artillery. See details below and in the flyer.

December 18, 2025Are your ancestors lost, invisible or misbehaving? Sooner or later every genealogist seems to hit a dead end in their research.
On the first and third Thursday of each month from 1:00-2:30pm, Caldwell-Lake George Library will offer genealogy help. This is an informal drop-in, one-on-one meeting to discuss ways to overcome or move around problems in researching ancestors. We do not do genealogical research for you, but our experienced volunteers will suggest ways and sources to help you find answers. We can also help if you are using a database like Ancestry or Family Search and need a little insight on how it works.
