Lake George Historical Association

Hi! I believe you are referring to English Brook, which is a pretty powerful brook feeding into the lake from the north. It roughly follows route 9 north to Warrensburgh and has a number of additional feeder channels that add volume while it flows to the lake. It was named for the encampment of the English troops on the west side of the lake during the French and Indian war period. It is quite likely that some light commerical uses took place on English Brook between the French and Indian war and modern times, most private industry had exited the village area by the end of the 1950's. It's more likely the drilling was due to a bridge or other structure being built to span the brook. In the spring and during heavy rains, English brook is a very powerful flow. More information would be had by deed searches and research into the ownership of that property, but the LGHA does not have a full time research position. Enjoy your stay!

Hello, Peter... We don't really do a lot of research questions through our Google business page, it's mostly for questions about hours and details about the museum. However, the short answer is that yes, the Ranger was a post warning PT boat converted to a cruiser. The same company operated the Patricia, the Sayonara and the Roamer. Stop by the museum for more details!

Hi, to determine the answer to that, one would have to research the tax rolls for the period of "many years in the 1970s", and determine the location of their properties then. And then you would need to research deed records from purchases or transfers to determine the current owners. The LGHA generally maintains histories of the area on a more general basis, relating to important events and people in the past, and don't keep itemized records of property ownership throughout the region. That sounds like you would want to go to a public records source like the county or local government.
