Recently released by the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance, the Visitor Center reported a strong finish to its fourth season, highlighted by increased participation in tours and continued interest in restored historic sculptures. More than 500 people joined guided tours of the park in 2025, a 34% increase over the prior year. Museum visitation rose 3% to 3,665 guests.
Alliance President John DiNuzzo credited the season’s momentum to the restoration and rededication of three bronze sculptures completed earlier this year. The project, conceived by the late sculptor Dan George and carried out by Workshop Art Fabrication, was funded by the Society of Colonial Wars, Lorna Hainesworth, the Lake George Park Commission, and community supporters.
The Alliance also marked the installation of two historical signs on Diamond Island, commemorating the September 1777 battle. Work continues in the off‑season on the “Repose of the Fallen” project, which will reinter the remains of 44 individuals who died at the Continental Army hospital in 1776. The reburial is scheduled for May 22, 2026.
The Alliance is preparing for a series of events on December 12 commemorating Colonel Henry Knox’s Noble Artillery Train, including reenactments, a reception with historian Rick Atkinson, and a public program at Lake George High School.
