American Power Boat Association-sanctioned racing on Lake George did not end with the 1935 Gold Cup races. From 1954 to 1964, another class of boat (and racers, for that matter) competed for prizes and acclaim – as this summer’s exhibit at the Hague Community Center in Warren County, NY, shows us in extravagant detail.
Complementing author Ginger Henry’s new book, The Buzz on Lake George: Speedboat Racing on Lake George 1900 -1964 (High Peaks Publishing, 2024), the exhibit focuses on the Northern Lake George Marathons, the nationally sanctioned outboard races that were held in Hague during the heydays of post-war tourism.
