The “Lake George Battlefield Moments” podcast this week features historian and Queensbury Town Supervisor John Strough discussing Blind Rock, an Indigenous landmark and the 17th and 18th century dividing line between New France and British territories in the Lake Champlain-Lake George-Hudson River corridor.
A historic sign on Route 9 in Queensbury (near Walmart) describes this spot as a “legendary place of Native American rendezvous and ambushes [and] English-French frontier boundary colonial landmark and crossroads.”
Strough also shares stories on other key locations in modern-day Queensbury that can still be experienced by modern-day history enthusiasts.
