August 5 Ted Caldwell presents, 5 Hotels of the Narrows
“Five Hotels of the Narrows” is a historical presentation by Bolton Landing historian Ted Caldwell focusing on the iconic luxury resorts that populated the Lake George Narrows region.
The presentation highlights the history of these now vanished landmarks, and the era they represented.
The talk covers the history of these early 19th-century hotels which were typically boat-accessible, grand, often secluded hotels that once defined the area’s often-overlooked tourism.
These hotels were historically significant for being accessible only by water in the late 1800s and early 1900s, according to local history.
