Revolutionary War soldiers will finally be laid to rest in Lake George

The remains of 44 people, many of them believed to be male teenagers of the Continental Army, unearthed during a construction dig in 2019, will soon be laid to rest on the shores of Lake George. On Wednesday, May 20, the remains will be escorted via motorcade from the New York State Museum in Albany up state Route 9 to the Lake George Battlefield Park. The majority of the remains will be interred at a new memorial on the east side of Fort George Road called “Repose of the Fallen” that day.
