The Islands of Lake George: Exploring the History and Mysteries
The Islands of Lake George, a new book by author Noah Chirnomas, reveals the rich history of the 125 named islands on the lake. He spent three years poring through archives at museums and libraries, as well as the private collections of locals, in an effort to piece together long-forgotten history of the lake’s beautiful islands.
During this slideshow presentation filled with photographs, newspaper clippings, and artwork, Noah will share the stories of how he uncovered his most interesting historical finds. He’ll discuss topics including:
– Who did King George III deed an island to?
– Which island did Georgia O’Keeffe include in a painting?
– On which island did a Nobel Prize winner live?
– How did a relaxing day trip to an island lead to a massacre during the American Revolution?
Noah spends time on Lake George every year and enjoys kayaking and camping, exploring the lake, and learning about its history. He is also the author of Dome Island: Forever Wild on Lake George.
Book signing will follow with copies of his books available for sale.
