Discover
- Revisit a bygone era at the Sagamore Resort, built in 1883 on an island in New York's Lake George as a summer getaway for wealthy and prominent residents of the area. The name of the resort comes from a character in James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans," as do the names of several of the nearby islands.
