Lake George

Wednesday, August 3

Today we went on a beautiful boatride on Lake George. There was one island that was all wilderness. It's name is Dome Island. We also saw some private islands, and others were tent-camping islands that anybody could reserve and use. We saw some pretty stacked stones by one of them. The place where we turned around is called Paradise Bay.
We also went to Fort Ticonderoga, where we saw some pistols that were given to George Washington. The museum also had a piece of Martha Washington's wedding dress.
This place changed hands between France, England and America. It was located on a very important place for an army to control because it's where a lot of big cannons were. At one point in the American Revolution, George Washington sent a man to get the cannons from the fort and bring them to Boston.
