The event week gets its hallmark "$17.57" price tag to commemorate one of the most famous seige battles of the French & Indian War. It was, in 1757 that the French Army, under the General Montcalm came down from Canada using the lakes of Champlain and Lake George to lay siege for 7 days to Fort William Henry which was then controlled by the British Army. The British fought a good fight but in the end were defeated and driven back to their southern stronghold of Fort Edward 12 miles to the south. This major point in history was later used as the basis for the internationally known novel, The Last of the Mohicans, by James Fenimore Cooper.
This weeklong event is a great way to visit restaurants you have never been to before, or to get a great deal at one of your favorites in the region. The event receives funding support from the Warren County Tourism Occupancy Tax Fund as well as from area sponsors including: Glens Falls National Bank & Trust, National Grid, The Town of Lake George and The Village of Lake George.
