When movie making industry was in its infancy in the early 1920's, Port Henry had a filmmaking studio here for a few years. "The Perils of Pauline" series was shot here. Many of the stars stayed at the Lee House, a fine hotel on Main Street which is standing to this day.

In the early 1900's, ice fishing became a popular industry. Fish (smelt) were shipped to the better restaurants in New York City & Boston, so that people there could sample these sweet-tasting delicacies. Ice fishing is still quite a popular activity. Once the lake freezes in January, one by one, shanties are towed onto the lake. Soon there are little villages of them on the ice in front of Port Henry.
