Fort William Henry Museum

Step back in time as Fort William Henry commemorates the 270th anniversary of the Battle of Lake George with an immersive weekend of living history. Experience the sights, sounds, and strategies of 1755 as British, Provincial, French, Canadian, and Native forces take the field in dramatic battle reenactments.

This pivotal battle, the only British victory of 1755, saw inexperienced colonial troops, aided by Iroquois allies, hold their ground against seasoned French Regulars under Baron Dieskau. Witness the chaos of the “Bloody Morning Scout,” the clash at the fortified camp, and life in an 18th-century military encampment.

Throughout the weekend, explore authentic camps, meet reenactors portraying soldiers, officers, and camp followers, and learn about the events that set the stage for the construction of Fort William Henry and the later siege that made history.
