Item Description

Experience 1757 in the Wilderness of Lake George at Fort William Henry

Experience the history, the sights, and sounds of the fort during the French and Indian War!

Step back in time at Fort William Henry. What was it like to be at the outpost in the wilderness in 1757; the hardships and fears of being the front line in defense of the British Colonies from French invaders? Talk with those that were there!

Meet a British soldier of the 35th Regiment of Foot, sent to the New World to fight the long-standing enemy of Britain and finding yourself in an area very different than your homeland. Ask the Ranger about the different tactics they learned from the Native American people who lived here that changed the way war is fought. Tactics that are still in use today with the modern military. Learn the important part women played at the 18th-century fortress and entrenched camp. These women kept the army clothed and fed while enduring great hardship.

This listing includes admission for four (4) to The Fort William Henry Museum & Restoration with a total retail value of $70.
