About Us
The Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance (“the Alliance”) was established in 2001 as a private, nonprofit education corporation chartered by the Board of Regents of the State University of New York, to support activities of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in the preservation and interpretation of the Lake George Battlefield Park.
The Alliance is a volunteer-driven organization comprising individuals from various regions of the United States and Canada who have an abiding interest in the Lake George region’s critical role in the French and Indian and American Revolutionary Wars. By walking the same paths as such important historic figures as Sir William Johnson, King Hendrick, the Marquis de Montcalm and Henry Knox, in full view of the magnificent lake that served as a key means to regional dominance in the 18th century, we both derive appreciation for the extraordinary actions that were taken and help preserve important vestiges of the battlefield for posterity.
AND THE EXCITEMENT AT THE LAKE GEORGE BATTLEFIELD PARK IS GROWING! The Hartgen Archeological Associates “Analysis of Military Campaigns Associated with Fort George and Environs”, delivered in late 2018, provided a comprehensive analysis of the sites of various battles in Lake George, and a blueprint for further preservation. (A link to the Analysis is provided elsewhere on this web site.) The discovery in February 2019 of a previously unknown cemetery in Lake George village uncovered the remains of over 40 Revolutionary War soldiers thought to have been treated at the Park; the remains are currently being analyzed at the State Museum in Albany and are expected to ultimately be reinterred in the Park in 2024. Additionally, the long-awaited Lake George Battlefield Park Visitor Center opened to the public in 2022 and is serving thousands of guests during park season.
