HistoryProspect Mountain originally had to use an incline railway car to access the house at the top where people could dance and eat.[4] Construction on the railway began in January 1895 and cost $120,000 total. Construction was finished six months later, with the railway opening on June 15, 1895.[4] After failing financially, the railway system ceased operation in 1903.[5] The area was bought and soon donated to the State of New York. The nearby hiking trail that heads up towards the mountaintop is part of the old railway.[6] In 1932, the building at the top of the mountain burned down and was replaced by a steel fire tower.[7] For 30 years, people studied what to do with the land, which was owned by the state, and in 1954, New York Governor Tom Dewey signed legislation to build a highway up the mountain. Twelve years later, in 1966, then-Governor Nelson Rockefeller made funds available for the highway.[7] The Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway was opened in 1969, dedicated to war veterans and providing access to the {{convert|2021|ft|m|sing=on}} summit with a {{convert|100|mi|km|sing=on}} view at its peak.[8] GalleryReferences1. ^{{Cite gnis | 961186 | Prospect Mountain | July 6, 2018}} {{coord|43.4248|-73.7457|format=dms|type:mountain_region:US-NY|display=title}}2. ^{{cite book |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/oom/transportation-systems/repository/2012%20tour-bk.pdf |title=Official Description of Highway Touring Routes, Bicycling Touring Routes, Scenic Byways, & Commemorative/Memorial Designations in New York State |author=New York State Department of Transportation |date=January 2012 |format=PDF |accessdate=February 16, 2012}} 3. ^{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+Prospect+Mountain+Hwy+%4043.411723,+-73.711471+to:+Prospect+Mountain+Hwy+%4043.424588,+-73.745964&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl |title=Overview map of NY 917A |accessdate=December 25, 2007}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.catskillarchive.com/rrextra/lginclin.Html|title=THE PROSPECT MOUNTAIN CABLE INCLINE RAILWAY|author=The Catskill Archive|year=2007|accessdate=2007-12-28}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nynjctbotany.org/lgtofc/georgehist.html|title=A Brief History of Lake George|author=Dr. Patrick L.
