"The Lake George Antique Boat  Museum's purpose is to preserve, interpret,teach
and interactively exhibit the history of life on Lake George through the vessels and vehicles used there, and their significant impact on the economic,social and cultural heritage
of the Adirondack region and the nation. "

If one were to describe the Lake George region of New York State, the majestic Adirondack mountain range overlooking the island-dotted lakes would surely be mentioned. But the area's natural beauty is not all it can be proud of. It also possesses a rich heritage of boats that navigated its waters,and automobiles and carriages that traveled its roads.

Vessels and vehicles were a vital part of the evolving scene in Lake George andthe greater Adirondack region since pre-colonial times. They greatly affected the lives of the people who lived, worked, and vacationed there. But what does the future hold for the preservation of this important history? The Lake George Antique Boat  Museum has a plan:
 

"A quality museum will preserve this legacy and educate the public about these historic forms of transportation, from the bark canoes of the Native American Indians through the wooden runabouts of the 20th century; from the horse-drawncarriages through the buckboard wagons; from the Duryeas and Model A's through the 1953 woody wagons. "

Lake George Antique Boat  Museum, which has been granted a provisional charter by the University of the State of New York Education Department,is dedicated to educating the general public about its transportation heritage,particularly boats, automobiles, and horse-drawn carriages.

We are currently seeking a permanent home for our collections and archives,where all may come and learn about this fascinating and rich history.

By becoming a member and taking an active part in building the Lake George Antique Boat  Museum, you will help to preserve an important part of Adirondack history. Don't wait until many important pieces of that history have scattered and memories have faded.
