Grand Carry Landing was the landing for the grand carry on the Great War Trail between Indian tribes of the north and south country and the beginning of the carry between the lakes that avoided the falls and rapids. This route later became the Military Road built by the French in 1755. In 1756, the French erected a saw mill at the foot of the falls on the site of the present mills, the first ever built in the Champlain Valley. In this saw mill, Abercromby had his headquarters during his disastrous battle with Montcalm’s forces at the French lines on July 8, 1758. During the Revolution, Washington and Franklin passed over this Military Road.
