Fort William Henry Museum in Lake George, Warren County, United States | Museum

Welcome to Fort William Henry Museum, Lake George, New York, United States. By 1689, the British and French were the predominate nations in the New World. Wars for land, water passages and trade had been fought between these nations for years on the European continent, spilling over into North America. The final conflict, 1754-1763, is known as the French & Indian War and the Seven Years War.
Sitting atop a small rise, Fort William Henry commanded the southern end of Lake George, New York November 1755 to August 1757. The Fort William Henry Museum?s history is short but its final tumultuous days have been retold, although inaccurately, in the
?Last of the Mohicans? by James Fennimore Cooper.
We hope you will visit us during the 250th Anniversary of the French & Indian War and experience the history!.
