In 1609, Frenchman Samuel de Champlain was the first European to travel the waters of the lake that now bears his name. The region had already been home to Native cultures for thousands of years.
Champlain: The Lake Between commemorates this 400th anniversary and features:
- Re-enactments set against the lake's natural beauty
- Interviews with historians and culture bearers
- Little-known stories of Native and French daily life
Trade alliances created both conflict and connections among Abenaki, Mohawk, French, English and Dutch people. During the Colonial era, the region was central to the struggle for economic and military dominance in the U.S. and Canada. |
