The tiny hamlet of Huletts landing is named after the family who lived on and farmed the land for generations following the Revolutionary War. In 1874, a descendant built a boat landing, a general store and a post office, effectively opening the tranquil corner of Lake George to tourism, which was beginning to surge in the picturesque mountains. With no land connections, the quiet hamlet was accessible only by steamship, which began regularly delivering vacationers seeking fresh air and relaxation to the Hulett House.
