Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance seeks $9,980 to add Native American mannequin to visitor center
Summary
The Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance asked the park commission for a $9,980 grant to pay for a display case and accessories for a proposed Native American mannequin to balance existing exhibits and be ready for May/250th-anniversary events.
A representative of the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance asked the park commission for a $9,980 grant to fund a new Native American mannequin display at the visitor center, saying the model would better represent the region's pre-colonial inhabitants alongside the existing continental soldier exhibit. The presenter said the group expects the model itself to cost about $4,000 and the matching display case roughly $5,000 and that the Alliance will add roughly $2,500–$2,600 from other fundraising to complete the installation.
The Alliance framed the request as part of broader 250th-anniversary plans and local preservation work, noting the visitor center has been closed for the season and that volunteers and partner organizations contributed to past exhibits. "Certainly, if we can have it in place for the May 22 return, that would be the hallmark we're looking for," the presenter said, closing the request and offering to answer commissioners' questions.
