First founded in 1759 and resettled in 1788 after being destroyed by the British, this industrial center grew up around a 60-foot waterfall on the Hudson River. The Hyde Collection, housed in a Florentine-style mansion, includes works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Picasso, and El Greco among its collection of paintings, sculpture, and furnishings that span the last five centuries. Chapman Historical Museum has period furnishings and regional historical exhibits.
North of town, Great Escape Fun Park features rollercoasters, water rides, a Western village, and circus shows. You can also attend the Lake George Opera Festival; all works in the popular summer series are sung in English. Six Flags Great Escape Lodge has a 38,000-square-foot indoor waterpark and family-sized suites available year round.
