• The Settlement of Half-Way Brook, Between Fort Edward and Lake George (newyorkalmanack.com) — Half-Way Brook's history is closely tied to Fort Ann, from early dams and mills at Tripoli, Kane's Falls, and Anchorville to today's remaining grist, saw, and cider mills in West Fort Ann and nearby hamlets.
