Before the 20th century, no individual had a greater impact on Lake George than James Caldwell. An ambitious entrepreneur who arrived at the lake in 1785, Caldwell saw more than just business opportunity. He saw potential for community, conservation, and legacy. From building a booming trade network and founding the village that would bear his name, to protecting historic lands that are now pivotal in Lake George land protection, Caldwell and his descendants helped shape the Lake George we know and love today.
Learn the little known history of the man who helped shape land conservation in Lake George as we know it, presented by LGLC Advisory Board member Jeff Brozyna.

About the Speaker: Jeff Brozyna, former interim director at the Lake George Land Conservancy, will share his love of history through this dynamic power point presentation.
Virtual option available.
