I have been interested in Rogers' Rangers and their role in the French and Indian War since I was a kid. This is a small museum located on Rogers" Island where the unit was stationed. It sits in the middle of the Hudson River by the town of Ft Edward named after the British post that was located there. At one time Ft Edward was the third largest town in the Colonies behind Philadelphia and Boston. The museum certainly deals with the history of the Rangers and explains how "ranging companies" were formed to protect the colonists. It contains exhibits of items retrieved in archaeological digs from not only the French and Indian War period but from Native Americans who occupied the area. We were really only interested in the Rogers' Rangers exhibits and we pretty much covered that collection in a little over an hour. If you are also interested in the periods before that I would think about two hours would suffice.
