LAKE GEORGE Most people who picnic in the peaceful state park near Million Dollar Beach have no idea of what happened there more than 250 years ago.
Major battles of the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War were fought on this land, now called Lake George Battlefield Park, and more than 1,000 soldiers died in a hospital on those grounds. There are some signs and statues, and one can see the stone ruins of a fort and other buildings, but it’s hard to imagine the lives of the military men and Native Americans who once walked here.

In early 2020, curators and historians at the New York State Museum were mapping out an expansive exhibit remembering the 1971 Attica uprising one to be featured during the riot s 50th anniversary year that would trace not only the history of the inmate revolt but also its enduring legacy.
Then COVID-19 came.
As with museums across the country, the State Museum facilities were shuttered, exhibits closed, and many plans either delayed or derailed. But the State Museum decided that it did not want the half-century anniversary of the nation s deadliest prison uprising to pass without some spotlight on its history.
