In other news, last week, I was in Whitehall, NY…the birthplace of the US Navy. Yes, the greatest navy on earth was founded on a lake.
Wow. I’ve driven through Whitehall dozens of times and never knew it was the birthplace of the Navy.
The only thing I thought it was known for was being the town where Trey Anastasio was arrested on drug charges back in 2006.
It was actually the temporary home of the U.S. Naval Academy during the Civil War.
