The Last of the Mohicans Outdoor Drama, Inc. was awarded the 2012 Excellence in Tourism Award for Cultural Heritage at the Empire State Tourism Conference held at the Albany Marriott on March 7.<\/p>\n
\nThe theatrical production was selected for the award by the New York State Travel and Vacation Association (NYSTVA, the conference host), in recognition of its efforts to expose visitors to New York State’s unique cultural aspects, increase visitation to its community, and stimulate the local economy.<\/p>\n
The award for cultural tourism was presented to Vice President Steven O’Connor and board member Larry Bennett during a ceremony recognizing various achievements in the tourism industry during the past year.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
According to Conference Chairperson Suzanne Bixby, the Last of the Mohicans Outdoor Drama, Inc. was recognized by the judges because it supports the historic aspects of the Lake George region and is an interactive way of promoting American literature. “This is a very unique tourism product,” said Bixby. “The works of James Fenimore Cooper are a part of our state’s literary treasures, and it is exciting how this organization is utilizing the local historic infrastructure and landscape to bring his words to life for – in their words – an ‘edutainment’ experience for all.”<\/p>\n
The Last of the Mohicans Outdoor Drama, Inc. was nominated by Maura Fox, from the organization’s board of directors. The nomination packet noted that The Last of the Mohicans Outdoor Drama provides a unique tourism attraction to the Lake George region and supports heritage tourism in New York State. The production brings to life the history and legends of the community as they relate to the French and Indian War and its role in American History.<\/p>\n
\nThe organization searches for ways to build relationships with local entities, promoting historical sites, museums and resources as evidenced by partnering with the Fort William Henry Museum in 2010, which hosted a limited 6-night engagement of the full production, held in the courtyard of the reconstructed 18th century fort. In 2011 the production was extended to 14 nights and was held at the Wild West Ranch and Western Town.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
