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? Lake George Antique Boat and Auto Museum
has a plan:
Lake George Antique Boat and Auto Museum's , 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 and
Auto 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.
