The Travels of Tug 44 |

Village of Whitehall - Champlain Canal |
 |
|
Tug 44 sits at the town wall at Whitehall. Behind her is the Carillon which offers day cruises on the Champlain Canal and Lake Champlain. The building with the red roof is the Skenesborough Museum, which is worth a visit.

Impossible to miss, Skene Manor sits on the mountain overlooking the town. Built around the Revolutionary War, tours are available and High Tea is served each afternoon. It's well worth the uphill walk.

When in Whitehall, the Filet Mignon at the Division Street Cafe is mandatory. The crab cakes are excellent too. Forget what the guide books tell you about Whitehall's many other restaurants, go to this place! It's not very fancy looking, but the food is excellent.
