Lake George Unearthed - Join us for a fascinating evening as we uncover the secrets of this remarkable lake. Brad will take us on a journey through geological time, revealing how Lake George has evolved over millennia, shaped by forces both seen and unseen. Then, Cheryl and Sue will tell the story of two pioneering families who settled at the lake in the 1830s. Drawing on records from the treasured Father Brian Maher Collection, they will share insights into the hardships and legacies of these early settlers.

Prepare to unearth the forgotten, decode the mysterious, and celebrate the enduring spirit of this extraordinary lake. Don’t miss this opportunity to step back in time and experience Lake George like never before.
