he Ticonderoga area was early America’s crossroads, which included the lake itself and a narrow neck of water that was relatively shallow and easy to cross. The history runs deep, however, as one of the first actions of the Revolution occurred when the British surrendered Fort Ticonderoga to Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold. Ticonderoga is also renowned for No. 2 lead pencils, paper from the International Paper mill and agriculture. For more information, visit the Chamber of Commerce website at ticonderogany.com.

he Port Henry area has a rich history on the Adirondack Coast, dating back 250 years, when it was part of a tract set aside by the British for veterans of the French and Indian War. Port Henry was most famous as an iron town, as the product of local mines was shipped up the lake to the Hudson River. Today Port Henry is home to a number of beautiful, historic structures, including churches, railroad buildings and the Sherman Free Library. It maintains an active marine culture, with boating, fishing and camping being popular pursuits. The Moriah Chamber of Commerce hosts the Moriah Challenge, a collection of four hikes in the Port Henry area.

Iron Center Museum
Railroad and mining history exhibits are presented by the Town of Moriah Historical Society in a restored carriage house at the former Witherbee-Sherman and Company mining headquarters. The museum documents the operations of the local iron ore mining industry, which flourished from the 1820 to 1971, its impact on workers’ lives, and the preparation, processing and transport of iron ore from Lake Champlain to the world. Port Henry was the largest pre-war producer of iron ore in the country. High grade iron ore was mined in deep tunnels near the villages of Mineville and Witherbee. The museum is located at 34 Park Place.

rown Point evolved from its strategic location on Lake Champlain, being a chokepoint in the waters that were the main form of travel in the 1700s. The French constructed a fort there in 1731, but the ground was eventually claimed by the British during the French and Indian War. In 1759, the British built Fort Crown Point, and extensive ruins of these fortifications still stand — despite much of the fort being devastated by fire in 1773. On the civilian side, Vermonters settled Crown Point in 1800. Today it is popular for fishing, boating and hiking. Nearby Cheney Mountain offers spectacular views of the High Peaks to the west and the Champlain Bridge to the southeast.
Penfield Homestead Museum Ironville boasts a fabulous industrial industry, which is now interpreted and preserved by the Penfield Homestead Museum. In
Champ Day Port Henry is “home” to Champ, the Lake Champlain version of the creature reputed to live in Loch Ness, and each year the town celebrates with Champ Day, which this year will be held on Sunday, July 21 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be games, music, boat races and exhibits, a face-painting clown, vendors and an appearance by Katy Elizabeth, Champ’s premier hunter and researcher. The event will be held on the Port Henry Beach and Marina. ■

1962, the extended Penfield family deeded the historic Penfield Homestead to the new Penfield Foundation board, which began preservation work on the homestead, along with the foundations at the site of the old Crown Point Iron Company. In 1974, the entire hamlet of Ironville earned the designation of Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Ironville is known as the “Birthplace of the Electrical Age” due to Allen Penfield’s industrial use of Joseph Henry’s electro-magnet. Ghostly industrial ruins can be seen on a beautiful trail up Putnam Creek that is maintained by Champlain Area Trails. The museum is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Group tours are available by appointment by calling 518-597-3804. Penfield is located at 703 Creek Road. ■
Crown Point State Historic Site The Crown Point State Historic Site maintains and interprets fortifications dating back to the 1700s when the French and British were fighting for control of the lake. The story is told at the site’s museum, which is fi lled with stories and artifacts. Other
points of interest at the site include access to the historic Crown Point Pier, the Champlain Memorial Lighthouse, the walking paths on either side of the newly constructed Lake Champlain Bridge, and spectacular views of Lake Champlain and the mountains that surround it in New York and Vermont. Fossils in shoreline rock can be seen, which date back 400 million years. Located at 21 Grandview Drive, the site can be reached at 518-597-4666. ■
