Tourism
- French & Indian War Fort This was the site from which Fort William Henry in Lake George was fortified. This is where the troops and supplies came from and where the soldiers came back to. During the war, there were six thousand troops camped in the northern end of Rogers Island. On the southern side there was an officers barracks, gardens and a small pox hospital. The buildings are gone now, but you can still see the old moat of the fort in the ground.
