Regional Information

Did you know that Fort Edward, and adjacent Rogers Island, was once the third largest "city" in colonial North America? That today's Special Operations forces, particularly the US Army Rangers, consider this little island in the Hudson River to be their "spiritual home"? That the history that was made from this place at the bend in the Hudson River in the 1750s would lay the foundations for the nation that would be born two decades later?
