Visitors gather on the parade ground at Fort William Henry in Lake George, N.Y., for an outdoor screening of “The Last of the Mohicans.” The museum’s immersive movie presentations combine the 1992 film with live musket and cannon fire synchronized to the action. The 1757 siege and surrender of Fort William Henry became a central setting in James Fenimore Cooper’s 1826 novel, which marked its 200th anniversary in 2026. [Photo: S Cobaugh, Aug. 22, 2026]
