Historical Sites related to the Life and Career of Benedict Arnold


  1. Battle of Valcour Island

Skene's Mills

The marker is located at water's edge behind Finch and Chubb Restaurant, 82 No. Williams St, Whitehall, NY

This marker commemorates the sawmill owned by Phillip Skene which was utilized to saw plank for the construction of Arnold's Valcour fleet. Lock 12 of the Champlain Barge Canal, which was built in place of the Wood Creek Falls, was the actual location of the mill (just south of the marker.) To see the marker, you must walk into the backyard dock area of the restaurant. See their website: http://www.finch-and-chubb.com/home.htm If you look carefully at the website's view of the restaurant from the water, you can just make out the blue historical marker. (It is very tiny in the photo.)

  • The marker is not on the road, but at the water's edge directly behind the Finch and Chubb Restaurant
  • View of the waterfront at the marker, during a particularly high water event in April 2008. Lock 12 of the Champlain Barge canal can be seen to the left. The site of the building of the fleet is just out of frame to the right.
  • View of Lock 12 of the Champlain Barge Canal, in a telephoto shot from Whitehall Marina, across the water. The lock was built over Wood Creek Falls.
