Foliage may be past peak in the Adirondacks (although there are still pretty views all over the region), there is still many festive events and things to do in early November in the region.
As we transition into Veterans Day, the focus expands to honor those who’ve served in the military. Many towns hold parades and ceremonies at veterans’ memorials, offering a meaningful way to pay tribute. Museums and historical sites, like Fort Ticonderoga, are offering special exhibits and events to delve deeper into local military history.
We also provide a sneak peek at upcoming events, including William Shatner’s return to the Star Trek tour in Ticonderoga and the annual visit by the Canadian Pacific Railway Holiday Train which will roll into stations along Lake Champlain on the day before Thanksgiving.
