Fort William Henry Museum

Fort William Henry Museum is on US 9 (Canada St.) in the center of town. This 1755-57 British fort was the subject of James Fenimore Cooper's “The Last of the Mohicans.” The replica contains barracks, stockades, dungeons and fort artifacts. Living-history demonstrations include canon and musket firing. The Archeological Room contains an exhibit about the sunken fleet of 1758. The Spirit of History Ghost Tour explores sites thought to be haunted.
