I know you’ve seen this standard opening before. But I just have to note that some of these pictures were posted originally with the travel blog write-up (original link below). Now instead of a select few, I’m sharing just about all the pictures. Please be sure to visit the original blog link for more details of the original visit.
The original blog didn’t go into much detail about the town of
Whitehall, and there’ll be a little more here.
The Champlain Canal goes through here, which was once the industrial
link of the town to the outside world.
The ancestral home of the person who founded the settlement was known as
Skeene Manor today, and overlooks the area from a hill. Plus there’s the hull of the U.S.S. Ticonderoga which was sunk in
1814. And there’s a lot local lore about
Bigfoot being in the area. My love of
cryptozoology aside, it was probably some unwashed unshaven mountain men who
stumbled upon some local drunks. Not
sure if the Bigfoot lore predates the European settlers.
