One of the best parts of visiting a new town is exploring its history.<\/h4>\n<h4>Lake George was a critical territory during the French and Indian War, which was fought between England and France in the mid-1700s. While the war ended more than 250 years ago, there are historic sites in the Lake George area that preserve that history. You don\u2019t even have to be a history buff to appreciate the history that surrounds you as you explore Lake George.
