TICONDEROGA — For centuries,Americans, and others, have been makinghistory in Ticonderoga.

The name “Ticonderoga” is one of themost significant and familiar in Americanhistory. The Iroquois word, meaning “theland between the waters,” describes thehistoric portage between Lake Champlainand Lake George used by Native Americans for10,000 years.

France and Britain fought in Ticonderoga in theFrench and Indian War, and America and Britain strug-gled during the Revolution. Over 50 plaques throughoutthe town of Ticonderoga mark historic sites and remem-ber legendary heroes, including Isaac Jogues, BritishLord Howe, Robert Rogers of the Rangers, FrenchGeneral Montcalm, American General Henry Knox,and the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont.

Ticonderoga also has a significant history in thepaper making industry. International Paper ’sTiconderoga mill traces its origins to 1882 and the banks of theLaChute River in the village of Ticonderoga. The Ticonderoga mill isone of the few mills in the industry that includes the entire paper-making process — from eight-foot logs at one end to reams of copy-ing paper at the other. On a typical day, the Ticonderoga mill pro-duces 850 tons of fine white paper. Ticonderoga is also the home ofthe former “Dixon Crucible Company” that produced the original“Ticonderoga Pencil,” which remains famous to this day.

The community provides history unequalled anywhere else in theUnited States, from the historic stone fortress of Fort Ticonderoga, theLord Howe Valley (scene of the Rogers’ Rangers Battle onSnowshoes), the village of Ticonderoga’s industrial heritage, to theCrown Point State Historic Site, and Penfield Museum.

Ticonderoga attractions include:— Fort Ticonderoga (518-585-2821) Fort Ticonderoga, the “Gibraltar of the North,” attracts over

100,000 visitors each year to the restored stone fort and its museum.Built by the French in 1755, Fort Ticonderoga (Carillon) played a crit-ical role in the American War for Independence.

TICONDEROGA — There will be major changes at FortTiconderoga this season.

A major new exhibit, changing programs and an historic cornmaze will highlight 2011 at “America’s Fort.”

“There’s so much energy in the air; this is will be an excitingyear for the fort,” said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga executivedirector. “We want people to be a part of this wonderful legacy.This is ‘America’s Fort.’ We want everyone to visit.”

Fort Ticonderoga unveiled its newest exhibit, “The Art of War:Ticonderoga as Experienced Through the Eyes of America’s GreatArtists,” when it opened May 20. The exhibit showcases 50 worksfrom the fort’s extensive art collection for the first time, pre-senting a visual history of Fort Ticonderoga.

“Jefferson, Madison and many other important Americanshave visited Fort Ticonderoga,” Hill said. “The famous and theless-famous have come here to be inspired. Other historic sitesmay great significance, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a placeof such historical significance surrounded by such natural beau-ty.

“The Art of War exhibit supports Fort Ticonderoga’s continu-ing mission — to ensure that the past, present and future genera-tions learn from the struggles, sacrifices and victories thatshaped the nations of North America and forever changed thehistory of the world,” she said.

The exhibit tells the history of the site from its development bythe French army in 1755 through the beginning of its reconstruc-tion as a museum and restored historic site in the early 20th cen-tury.

Fort Ticonderoga also has anew director of interpretation

this season, who will overseeevolving programs throughout the

summer.Stuart Lilie, who has worked at

Colonial Williamsburg, is responsible forthe development and implementation of Fort

Ticonderoga’s interpretive department. “Stuart Lilie arrives at the fort with tremen-dous vision and enthusiasm for the fort’sfuture,” Hill said. “He is extremely compe-tent as a leader in the profession and has aclear commitment to the high quality historicinterpretation required for the fort to attainits vision to be the premier military historicsite and museum in North America.”

Lilie is a graduate of The College ofWilliam & Mary. He has worked in severalinterpretive and trades positions at

Colonial Williamsburg and served as anapprentice archaeologist with the Association

for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities atJamestown. He has consulted on historicalequestrian matters for films at Mount Vernon,

96 Battlefield, Moore’s Creek, Vicksburg andCowpens National Park.

“I am both honored and excited to be part ofsuch a great team, making such a huge differ-ence at one of America’s most historic sites,”

Lilie said.An avid Revolutionary War and Seven

Years war re-enactor, Lilie has taken his belief in highstandards of authenticity to work on the development of

educational programming for many national sites includingColonial Williamsburg, Putnam Memorial State Park, Fort DobbsState Historic Site, Minute Man National Park, EndviewPlantation, Virginia War Museum and Middleton Place.

At Fort Ticonderoga he will develop a program that willchange throughout the 2011 season, Hill said. The first half of theseason will feature re-enactors portraying a 1759 Massachusettsregiment under the command of Gen. Amherst. The second halfof the summer re-enactors will portray a Revolutionary War unit.

“It’s so important to be site specific,” Hill said of the interpre-tive programs. “There are so many historic sites out there, butmost pale in compassion to Fort Ticonderoga.

“People should ask themselves — WhyFort Ticonderoga? Why is this story impor-tant?” Hill continued. “We want to answerthose questions. This year we’re going tooffer a different experience. It’ll be reallydynamic.”

There will also be several new education-al programs and tours, including a historicscavenger hunt.

The fort director notes the site is aboutmore than history. Besides the fort and itssignificance to the 18th century, the groundsare also home to the King’s Garden, anaward-winning formal garden. The gardendates to 1920. As in the past, there will bedisplay gardens featuring vegetables andflowers and a children’s garden.

New this summer, adjacent to the King’sGarden, will be a 6-acre corn maze in theshape of Fort Ticonderoga. It’s scheduled toopen Aug. 1 and will feature questions atvarious points relating to history and geog-raphy. Correct answers will aid visitors infinding the next point along the maze. Theentire maze will be about 2 miles in length.

“We feel so enthusiastic about this proj-ect,” Hill said. “We think it’ll be great funand it’s designed to meet New York andVermont school curriculum goals. We’reexcited to reach the student market.”

In the fall, the maze will be open at nightfor “flashlight tours.”

Local residents receive free admission tothe fort, but Hill pointed out the corn mazewill be an additional charge.

“It is an important fundraiser to serve ourmission to ensure that present and futuregenerations learn from the struggles, sacri-fices and victories that shaped the nations ofNorth America and changed world history,”she said.

Fort Ticonderoga has been open to thepublic more than 100 years.

In the years following World War I, Americans experienced a timeof heady optimism, economic prosperity and sweeping social change.

Summer 2011 Ticonderoga - Vacation Guide - 11www.denpubs.comstyle garden of the Pell estate at Fort Ticonderoga represented herfashionable garden designs of the early 1920s.

As the outdoor showplace of Stephen and Sarah Pell’s restoredsummer home, the Pavilion, the King’s Garden delighted socialites,politicians, foreign dignitaries, and even silent film stars who wereguests at their private manor. Lawn tennis and croquet were popularpastimes and the cool shade of the teahouse offered a tranquil retreat.The garden was featured in popular magazines of the time as therewas growing interest in historic preservation and also the lifestyles ofthe privileged.

The features of the King’s Garden were arranged so that whenviewed from the raised porch, the overall effect would be that of aTurkish carpet — colors and patterns arranged in repetition, mirroringone another and flowing seamlessly together. Linear features are soft-ened by arches and curves, and a central reflecting pool balances thecomposition. The beds are framed by a kiln-fired brick wall erected in1910, and punctuated by elm trees in each corner of the grassy centrallawn that is defined by a low barberry hedge. Numerous annuals andperennials guaranteed a colorful display throughout the summer.

While the framework of the garden remained essentially in place,the next generation of the Pell family that resided in the Pavilion mod-ified the garden to suit their tastes. While still a celebrated garden,much of Marian Coffin’s influence had given way to a “modern” gar-den. It would take nearly 75 years for this ‘Masterwork AmericanGarden’ from the Country Place Era of the early 1920s to be reborn.

Guided by Marian Coffin’s original planting plan that is archived atFort Ticonderoga’s Thompson-Pell Research Center, restoration effortshave achieved a garden that is once again a reflection of her style.Guided tours of the estate grounds and Garden are offered daily.

Outside the walls of the formal garden, three Discovery Gardensinvite guests to enjoy numerous varieties of vegetables, fruits andflowers.

A military Garrison Garden displays crops that were grown in theoriginal King’s Garden of 1756 that fed the French troops stationed atthe fort.

The Native American themed “Three Sisters Garden” shows therelationship of three staple crops grown together in an ancient plant-ing technique, while Sister Corn, Sister Bean, and Sister Squash watchover children who enter the living wigwam of Sister Bean.

The popular Children’s Garden features a mini corn maze, animaltopiaries, sunflower house and a pickle patch. New varieties of flow-ers and vegetables are featured each year, all surrounded by hundredsof marigolds.

In addition to the gardens, an historic greenhouse, columned gaze-bo, 300-year-old wrought iron gate and numerous quiet picnickingspots are found by those who explore the estate’s grounds.

TICONDEROGA — Faced with dwin-dling resources, the Ticonderoga FestivalGuild will present a much different artsprogram this summer.

The guild will scale back its weekly con-cert series in order to retain its children’sArts Trek program.

“The Arts Trek programs capture theattention and imagination of thousands ofarea children,” said Cathie Burdick, guilddirector. “We feel that an ongoing programthat brings out 250-300 people each week isa valuable one. The board of directors isdetermined to keep this program going.”

The local arts group is not receivingfunding from the New York State Councilon the Arts this year. That’s a loss of $4,000for the Ti Festival Guild, which has provid-ed weekly summer evening concerts thepast 30 years. It has offered weekly chil-dren’s arts programs the past 28 years.

“2011, the 31st year of guild activity inTiconderoga, is shaping up to be an inter-esting and exciting one,” Burdick said.“The executive director always getsinspired when the planning begins. Wehope people are also inspired to open theircheckbooks and ensure that the children’sprograms continue in Ticonderoga.”

People wishing to make a donation orthose seeking more information about theguild can call 585-7015, [email protected] or go online atwww.ticonderogafestivalguild.com.

In order to maintain the full Arts Trekprogram, the guild has decided to slash itsevening concert series from eight events tothree.

This year ’s concert schedule includesRoy Hurd and Frank Orsini performingJuly 12, Ti Talent Night July 28 and a TiCommunity Band concert Aug. 9. All willbe at the Knights of Columbus pavilion.

“It was decided to offer a limited numberof adult concerts, two that are usually well-attended and one that brought in outside

artists,” Burdick said. “This schedule alsomeans that the guild will not lose moneyon these programs. Grants and donationssubsidize the children’s programs, but theadult programs should pay for them-selves.”

The Arts Trek schedule includes YankeeDoodle Magic Theater with DebbieO’Carroll July 6, A Passion for Birds withHenry Lappan July 13, Billie Goats Gruffwith the Seagle Colony July 20, Drummingfor You with Bob Bloom July 27, SwingPeepers ecology-music show Aug. 3 andAnti-Gravity with Mr. Fish Aug. 10. All willbe at the Knights of Columbus pavilion.

The New York State Council on the Artsgave three reasons for denying funding tothe local arts group, Burdick said. The pro-gramming is stale, funding lacks diversityand the lack of a guild website were thereasons given.

“From our point of view those are notvalid reasons,” Burdick said. “They sug-gested we do block scheduling with otherarts groups and try to schedule Europeanperformers touring the U.S. That’s notpractical for us. We can’t afford groups likethat.

“As for funding, we raise money throughour program book ads, grants, individualdonations, memberships and otherfundraising activities,” she said. “If there ismore that we can do, I wish they would tellme.”

The Ti Festival Guild website was downfor two weeks in early June 2010, when thefunding application was being considered,Burdick said, but was operating before andhas been since.

The Ticonderoga Festival Guild, Inc.,was established in 1980 as a non-profitorganization dedicated to the advancementof the performing arts in the Ticonderogaarea.

The mission of the Ticonderoga FestivalGuild is to promote, develop, sustain, pres-

ent, and advance a diverse program of per-forming arts in the Ticonderoga area.

This summer’s events include:July 6 - Arts Trek, Doodle Magic Theater

with Debbie O’CarrollJuly 12 - Roy Hurd and Frank Orsini in

Ti Heritage Museum displays industrial past

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Heritage Museum bringshistory to life.

The museum is located in downtown Ticonderoga on the edgeof Bicentennial Park. Commonly called the “1888 Building” themuseum is housed in the only remaining structure of the oldTiconderoga Pulp and Paper mill that once sprawled across mostof the lower section of the town.

Today the museum hosts an Adirondack gift shop and displaysexhibits on the 200-year history of industries that built the town,particularly along the adjacent LaChute River.

It is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends, from Memorial Day toJuly 4, daily, July 4 to Labor Day, and weekends, from Labor Daythrough Columbus Day.

In 2010 the museum opened a new exhibit on water power.This year trustees hope to expand that exhibit to include a largewater-powered turbine that has been placed in front of the muse-um.

“When completed, Ticonderoga will have a unique artifact onits main street and the museum will have an exciting and attrac-tive addition to the water power exhibit,” Steve Boyce, museumpresident, said.

Besides exhibits, the Ticonderoga Heritage hosts a series ofchildren’s programs each summer. This year ’s children’s pro-grams include Friendly Frogs, Creepy Critters, Darting

Dragonflies, BoatBuilding, BlockPrinting andPottery. The chil-dren’s programs,held everyWednesday andFriday at 9 a.m. inJuly and August,are free.

The 1888Building is anexhibit in itself. Itwas once headquar-ters to theInternational PaperCo. mill that operat-ed along the adja-cent LaChute River.When IP moved itsmill a few milesnorth of the hamlet,the building wasgiven to the town.The museum boardleases the building.In the past fewyears, the building has received a $100,000 facelift and there areongoing plans for further improvements.

The museum is handicapped accessible. For more information call 585-2696 or go online at www.ticon-

derogaheritagemuseum.org.

Besides exhibits, the Ticonderoga Heritage Museumhosts a series of childrens’ programs each summer.The childrens’ programs, held every Wednesday andFriday at 9 a.m. in July and August, are free.

Rec trail nearing completionTICONDEROGA — The extension of the LaChute River

Walk Trail is expected to be complete this summer.The Ticonderoga Town Board awarded the contract for the

$230,000 project to Cleveland Brothers Landscaping during itsMarch meeting. The contract must now be approved by thestate Department of Transportation, although local officialsbelieve that process is a mere formality.

“It’ll be done this summer,” said Sharon Reynolds, executivedirector of PRIDE. “July 9 is the target completion date. Itshould only be a two or three month project.”

The paved LaChute River Walk Trail now runs fromTiconderoga’s Bicentennial Park along the LaChute River tothe downtown area, across Montcalm Street, and behind LakeGeorge Avenue to the Upper LaChute Falls.

With a Transportation Enhancement Program grant, localofficials plan to convert the existing train trestle at the end ofthe trail into a pedestrian bridge and extend the path to theTiconderoga Middle School on Alexandria Avenue.

The grant is federal stimulus money — the AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

PRIDE was responsible for authoring the grant and is theadministrative leader.

The three phase project includes converting the train trestleoff Alexandria Avenue into a walking and biking pathway,crosswalk enhancements across Alexandria Avenue, new side-walks to accommodate walkers and bikers along AlexandriaAvenue to connect with the Ticonderoga Middle School walk-ing path, lighting along the expanded portion of the trail andenhancements along the existing trail.

IRONVILLE — Located inthe Crown Point hamlet ofIronville, the Penfield Museumis the former home of AllenPenfield and reflects the 19thcentury when mining dominat-ed the regional economy. It isalso the birthplace of the elec-trical age.

The museum will host threespecial events this summer.

June 4 will be the traditionalopening day pancake breakfast8-10:30 a.m.

Aug. 21 will be HeritageDay. Activities starting with a9 a.m. service at the IronvilleChurch and will include a craftfair and flea market 10 a.m. to3:30 p.m. along with a chickenbarbecue at 1 p.m.

Oct. 9 will be AppleFolkFest,the final event of the year atthe museum. It’ll feature acraft fair and flea market 10a.m. to 3:30 p.m. as well aschili and apple desserts start-ing at 11 a.m.

The hamlet of Ironville, onthe National Register ofHistoric Places, is listed as the“Birthplace of the ElectricAge” since it is the site of thefirst industrial application ofelectricity in the United Statesin 1831. The electricity wasprovided by a simple batteryknown as a “wet battery,”which, in turn, was used topower one of Joseph Henry’selectromagnets. The electro-magnet was used in Ironvilleto recharge the magnetic

prongs on the magnetic oreseparator, a machine used toremove the iron from thecrushed ore.

The museum is on thegrounds of the Penfield home-stead, but it contains muchmore than artifacts relating tomining and electricity; it is amuseum of local history.

The Ironville homes alongthe main street were all con-structed in the early 19thCentury. Those buildings,besides the museum, includethe Harwood House, a church,a parsonage, a boarding houseand homes and barns that havebeen in use for 150 years andlonger. There are 10 stationsalong a self-guided tour. Year-round historical and recre-ational trails wander across the500 acres of the homestead.

In the summer, hiking andcamping are available near thePenfield Pond.

PORT HENRY — The MoriahHistorical Society relies on vol-unteers to help man the IronCenter museum this summer.

“The volunteers are ourgreeters,” explained Joan Daby,historical society president.

The Iron Center museum isopen on Thursdays, Fridaysand Saturdays from noon to 3p.m. throughout the summer.

The Iron Center Museum inPort Henry brings the industri-al history of Moriah to life.

Located at Park Place, adja-cent to the Moriah town hall,the museum gives visitors aglimpse at the iron ore miningand railroad industries whenthey flourished in the commu-nity. The museum opened in1998 and was named to theNational Register of HistoricPlaces in 2000.

“So much of our museum haswritten information for thepublic to read,” Daby said.“They can learn a lot from that.Also, we have videos of presen-tations that we show, that we

have had done in the past withpeople involved with themines. As far as new displays,we keep adding some itemsthat people donate to us.”

The Moriah Iron CenterMuseum opened a new exhibitlast summer, two 18-by-36-inchpanels which show a town of

Moriah timeline with somephotos and dates of specialhappenings throughout theyears. The exhibit was obtainedthrough a QuadricentennialMini-Grant from New YorkState. The panels are displayedin the diorama room of themuseum.

Besides an exhibition area,the museum has an office, anupstairs research area, restrooms and a gift shop.

Outside the museum build-ing, a locomotive, iron ore carand caboose are on display on alength of track.

A highlight of the museum isa scale diorama of the circa1960 Republic Steel mine yardin Mineville.

The model was created byWilliam Kissan of Westport, amaster modeler, Jim Kinley ofWillsboro, who specializes inminiature electronics, andBrian Venne of Moriah, a model

train hobbyist.Visitors to the museum expe-

rience the exhibit as if they areminers entering the yard fromthe change house.

Visitors see all the aboveground buildings with vehiclesand trains that carry the ore.They also see the surroundingarea painted on the walls asmurals—east, west, north andsouth of the mine yard. ElaineSears of Crown Point is paint-ing the walls.

Also contained in the exhibitare underground mining opera-tions that depict the differenteras, from digging to blastingto drilling to, finally, the use ofheavy motorized equipmentunderground.

During the period depictedby the model, the early 1960s,Republic Steel employed about450 men—250 undergroundand 200 in the mine yard—inMineville. At that time minershad reached a depth of 2,400feet below the level of LakeChamplain.

There is also a slide show onthe old Arctic City movieindustry and the episodes ofStar Trek filmed in Port Henry.

Many families came to workin the iron ore mining industry,which flourished from around1824-1971. Mines were private-ly owned, then became theproperty of Witherbee-Sherman& Co., and finally in 1938 theRepublic Steel Corporation.

In the late 1800s and early1900s most of the large hotels,homes, churches and schoolswere built, many still existingtoday.

Hague tri registration openFifth annual race June 25

HAGUE — The North Country Triathlon continues togrow.

Organizers expect more than 500 athletes for the fifthannual event June 25 in Hague. Registration is now open.

Volunteer Director Donna Levenstien said the race alsoattracts more than 150 local volunteers as well as safety andrescue personnel from the area.

“The town of Hague, which stands at the edge of LakeGeorge, provides an amazing backdrop for the race withcrystal clear waters for swimmers, rolling hills for runners,and aggressive mountains for cycling,” said Race DirectorJohn Hartley. “It truly is an athlete’s paradise.”

The North Country Triathlon is actually three races — asprint triathlon that includes a 750-meter swim, a 20-kilo-meter bike ride and a 5-kilometer run; an Olympic triathlonthat includes a 1.5-kilometer swim, a 40-kilometer bike rideand a 10-kilometer run; and a relay.

Both races start at the Lake George Land Conservancybeach, adjacent to Hague Beach. Swimmers go southtowards Jenkin’s Point and return.

Competitors then mount their bikes. The 40K courseheads to Ticonderoga and up Chilson hill and back, whilethe 20K course goes south on Route 8 up Graphite Mountainto West Hague Road to the New Hague Road back to thebeach.

Both runs go south on Route 9N toward Silver Bay andback. Terrance Fox was the leading man and Mara Fronhoferthe top woman in the sprint race last year. Todd Shatynskiwas the top man and Michelle Rosowsky the first woman inthe Olympic triathlon in 2010.

The sprint race had 164 finishers, the Olympic race 137finishers and the relay attracted 12 teams.

POTTERSVILLE — For 200years, Natural Stone Bridgeand Caves has been a destina-tion for travelers who seek tosee its fascinating billion-year-old geology.

Over that time, families rodestagecoaches — and later, theirstation wagons — to take aride upstate for a day of funexploring the geological won-der.

Over the last several years,the historic attraction is seeinga substantial resurgence inpopularity, Stone Bridge ownerGreg Beckler said.

With children now preoccu-pied with video games andFacebook, parents are respond-ing by making sure their fami-ly members re-connect withnature, Beckler said. Alreadythis summer, Stone Bridge &Caves has experienced a recordattendance, he said.

“More than ever, people aregetting back into nature,“Beckler said. “For generations,our family has been proudstewards of this unique ancientgeological phenomenon — andwe’re excited to showcasethese wonders of nature in animproved and expanded set-ting,” he said.

The recent enhancements atStone Bridge & Caves meanfamilies can enjoy an entirefun, relaxing day centeredaround Natural Stone Bridge &Caves. A new ramp provides alooped trail to InspirationPoint, along which visitors canview waterfalls, sink-holes andledges and the ever-famouscave not only in summer, butduring winter via snowshoesover six miles of snowy trail.

Also new are a series ofthemed gardens, includingherbs, specialty plants andheirloom flowers, that offer anadditional colorful and educa-tional aspect to this populardestination.

In decades past, peoplewould visit and simply gawkat the looming caves, grottosand a gorge in the billion-year-old attraction — but now, fam-ilies are partaking in caveadventure tours.

Visitors can sign up for a

three-hour spelunking adven-ture with the “cave crawltour.” Guests are providedwith a caving jumpsuit, hel-met, light, elbow- and knee-pads, gloves, shoes and floata-tion vest.

Guests suit up and wade,climb, scramble and walkthrough small, dark passage-ways that lead to larger caves.The tour ends with a “cavefloat’ where visitors explore awater-filled cave. Tours are ledby trained guides and are byreservation only, and limitedto age 13 and older.

There are also the Cave Manand Cave Kid climbing walls inthe Adventure Park portion ofthe attraction that keepsexpanding its offerings eachyear.

For a fun learning experi-ence, the Butterfly Box offersopportunities to watch the col-orful creatures go through var-ious stages of their life cycle.

Educational aspects includelots of new interpretive signs

along the trail that takes youalong the outcroppings, cavesand gorge, explaining moreabout the wildlife, plants,geology, and how the caveswere formed.

These new features join theever-popular rock shop, play-ground areas, covered pavil-ions, dinosaur activities forchildren along with mining forgold and crystals.

The Dino-Dig is a free activi-ty in which youngsters canpaw through sand and uncoverdinosaur teeth, a jaw bone or askeleton. The rock shop hasgeological treasures from allaround the world, fromHerkimer diamonds to oceanjasper from Madagascar.

The two child-orientedmines, where they dig for goldor crystals, are dark and mys-terious, glowing with fluores-cent minerals. Children cankeep several of the souvenirsthat they discover.

Also in the Adventure Park,Frisbee Golf offers competitive

CHESTER — Seeking to step back intoan earlier era and enjoy the relaxed paceof life in a traditional small-town atmos-phere?

Located away from the bustle of activi-ty in Lake George are the towns ofChester and Horicon, a quiet, rural areaabounding with lakes, ponds, mountains— and plenty of opportunities for bothrelaxation and laid-back fun.

Horicon encompasses two picturesquehamlets, Brant Lake and Adirondack,which is on the northern end of SchroonLake. Chester includes two main hamlets,Chestertown and Pottersville.

What can be more relaxing than delv-ing into local history?

Beginning in the 19th century, Chesterbecame a mecca for summer visitors,with hotels, churches and boarding hous-es springing up — buildings that nowgive the town’s hamlets incrediblecharm.

Several of the historic buildings havebeen renovated in recent years and nowprovide beckoning destinations for thosewho want to experience a taste of small-town life as it was in bygone days.

Builtas a schoolhouse, it was laterused as a tannery and townhall before they turned it into athriving eatery and gift shopfeaturing hand-selected, cre-ative home furnishings andnotions.

After their painstakingwork, it hosts thousands ofvisitors per season who enjoythe quaint architectural detailsas well as the savory home-made soups and sandwichesthey serve. The Robbins’ com-mitment to preserving historyhas prompted them to havetheir nearby barn renovated,and it may be put to use laterthis year to host a farmers’market.

Down Main Street, a trio ofentrepreneurs, Don andDarlene Butler and KeithWilkinson, have revived thehistoric Panther MountainHouse turning it into a suc-cessful enterprise.

Not far away on Main Street,the Art in Chester Gallery hasoccupied the former HarnessShop retail building, andbreathed new life into the area.

Showcasing fine art, thegallery has increased its hoursthis year, as well as an expand-ing its schedule of events andprogramming. Serving emerg-ing artists, the gallery has beena focus of activity inChestertown and provided acompelling destination.

It is housed in a charmingbuilding, once a site whereleather goods and harnesseswere made. The structure,complete with a lovely porch,hosted a gift shop in the 1980sthat was named after its ori-gins.

Enthusiasts of bygone dayscan find comprehensive infor-mation about the Adirondacksor local history at the ChesterHistorical Museum, located inthe Chester Municipal Centerin Chestertown.

Natural recreational assetsalso abound. Summer visitorscan hike the Pharaoh LakeWilderness area or fish indozens of streams, canoe orkayak in the Schroon orHudson Rivers or on Loon orBrant Lake.

Scaroon Manor on SchroonLake, a former playground for

the rich and famous, has beentransformed into a safe day-use area, with swimming andhiking now available.

The Forest Preserve offersmany opportunities for wilder-ness camping. Sate camp-grounds offer sites for tentsand RVs.

Brant Lake, Schroon Lake,Schroon River and a myriad ofquiet ponds and creeks areaccessible by public boatlaunches and winding countryroads.

Swimming is a favorite pas-time in Horicon. There arepublic beaches on the MillPond in Brant Lake with life-guards on duty from 10 a.m. to5 p.m. The town of Adirondackhas the longest stretch of shal-low beach in the area — onSchroon Lake.

Many of the inns, cabins andcamps on Schroon Lake offertheir own beaches and boataccess. Sometimes the swim-ming holes not so well knownare the most fun, with rivereddies and rock slides, hiddenrope swings and rock outcrop-pings for practicing watertricks. Ask your hosts for

directions.Fishing is unsurpassed in

Horicon and Chester. Anglerscan fish from a boat, bridge,shoreline or the middle of astream.

The newly rebuiltStarbuckville Dam is popularwith families, while a mile ofpublic fishing rights alongSchroon River Road offersplenty of spots.

Scenic Brant Lake is wellstocked with trout and you cancatch native bass and pickerelin the weedy bays. A varietyof panfish make it fun foryoungsters. There is free pub-lic boat access at a DEC launchsite near the west end inHoricon. Schroon Lake isaccessible by boat from a freestate launch on the south endbetween Pottersville andAdirondack.

Hike trails to quiet ponds orinto the Pharoah LakeWilderness to camp, canoe,kayak or just commune withthe wonder of nature.

The pace may be a littleslower in the North Warrenarea, but there’s an indescrib-able joy of just taking it easy.

Warren County area is heaven for anglersWARREN COUNTY — With over

150 species of fish thriving in thelakes, ponds, brooks and rivers of thesouthern Adirondacks, anglers havefor generations considered WarrenCounty their favored destination toreel in a catch.

Whether it’s the solitude of fishingfor trout in a wilderness brook orpond, or casting a line for land-lockedsalmon off a well-equipped charterboat on Lake George, the southernAdirondacks is top choice for anglers.

Nature gets a boost in WarrenCounty from fishery managers — whoraise tens of thousands of fish in thecounty’s own fish hatchery, thenrelease them in area waterways.

This ongoing program not only pro-vides a fulfilling fishing experiencefor residents and visitors, but it alsomaintains a balanced wildlife ecology.

Searching for smallmouth bass?Drop your line in Lake George, BrantLake, Schroon Lake or the HudsonRiver. Got your mind set on Brookies?Head to Thirteenth Lake, PufferPond, Trout Brook or Glen Creek.

How about fly fishing? Head to theSchroon River for Rainbow, Brook

and Brown Trout. The scenicStarbuckville Dam in the SchroonRiver in the town of Chester is heavi-ly stocked.

Want to make sure the kids catchtheir fair share? Put a worm on theirhook and cast for Panfish in LoonLake, Friends Lake or Lake Luzerne.

Those seeking to fish in wildernesswaterways may have a more satisfy-ing backcountry fishing trip if theyare accompanied by a guide. Such anexperience is likely to include sometales of local lore from your guide aswell.

Others bring their own boat or hirea charter service to fish the 288,000acres of Lake George, where crystal-clear waters allow light to penetratedeep, creating a unique multi-storyfishery that produces a wide varietyof species.

INDIAN LAKE — TheHudson River has a colorful pastas a highway to the sawmillsand paper mills in Glens Falls.Huge logs floated down thestreams and rivers in theAdirondacks for over 100 yearsbeginning in the 1800s. With theadvent of better highways,trucking replaced the riverdrives entirely by 1950.

Soon after, local rivermen hadextra time on their hands duringthe high waters of spring. Skillas a boatman rowing the jamboats for a log drive was quicklytransferred to whitewater canoe-ing and kayaking skills.

Whitewater rafting has beenin the Adirondacks since 1978.Today there are several outfittersoffering day-long trips in spring,summer and fall. Overnighttrips and fishing float trips arealso available.

The trip on the Hudson is anall day guided rafting adventurecovering 16 miles of river andrapids up to class V. The trip

56 - Vacation Guide - Warrensburg Summer 2011www.denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG — Whetheryour family is seeking to enjoya few hours cavorting on abeach at a pristine pond, play afew games of tennis, or spenda few hours exploring localhistory, Warrensburg has it allin store for you.

There’s an incredible varietyof activities and attributes thatsets Warrensburg apart fromother quaint little resort townsnestled in the Adirondacks.

Traditionally, Warrensburg’sbeen a center of trade since themid-1800s, when mills alongthe Hudson and Schroon Riverproduced world-class clothing,paper goods and wood prod-ucts, and in tanneries, all kindsof leather goods.

Warrensburg still fulfills thisrole, as shoppers still rely onits goods and services whileenjoying the quaint architec-ture, relaxed lifestyle and var-ied recreational opportunitiesthat exist here.

Visitors can explore the

town’s storied heritage by vis-iting the WarrensburghMuseum of Local Historywhich has enjoyed ravereviews since it reopened in2009.

The museum offers exten-sive exhibits, which detail day-to-day work and recreation inWarrensburg’s bygone days.

The museum has an exten-sive collection of artifacts,photographs, postcards, cloth-ing, and household goods thatportray life in the late 1800sand other eras.

Located in the V.F.W. build-ing at 3754 Main St., the muse-um is open 1 to 4 p.m.Wednesdays, Saturdays andSundays, plus 7 to 9 p.m. thefirst Thursday of every month.

Downtown revivalBut while the town’s history

is rich and compelling, themunicipality is now undergo-ing quite a revival. In recent

years, the historic former shirtfactory was renovated from theground up, and it now hosts anathletic club, the gourmetrestaurant Lizzie Keays, aphysical therapy center andlots of professional offices.

Across the river, the GristMill Restaurant, which over-hangs the rushing waters ofthe Schroon River, gives guestsa taste of local history — asdoes Lizzie Keays — whileoffering fine dining.

An historic Main St. blocknext to the Floyd BennettMemorial Bandstand has alsobeen renovated, and newenterprises are ready to movein.

The former Potter ’s Diner,steeped in history, has alsobeen rebuilt by new owners,and it’s soon to become NewWay Lunch’s northernmostlocation. Stewart’s Shop hasmoved north into a brand-newbuilding that is more accom-modating and convenient.

Also, the world-renownedOscar ’s Smoke House is nowin spacious new — and envi-ronmentally friendly — head-quarters so they can betteraccommodate the spiralingdemand for their gourmetmeat products

Some aspects of the townhave thankfully remained thesame — Outdoor activities willalways abound inWarrensburg.

Because of the beautifulrivers that flow through itslush woods, Warrensburghosts not only incomparableboating, swimming, and hikingopportunities, but a largenumber of private camp-grounds.

Consider that along theshores of the scenic windingSchroon River, there are morethan a half-dozen camp-grounds. Their accommoda-tions range from wild andprimitive tenting to luxurycabanas with every recreation-

Summer 2011 Glens Falls - Vacation Guide - 69www.denpubs.com

GLENS FALLS — DubbedHometown USA in 1944 byLook Magazine, Glens Fallsstill lives up to the title.

Not only is this charmingcity steeped in history and tra-dition, it has a lively culturalscene that continues to flourishin new ways.

Without question, GlensFalls has recently been experi-encing a remarkable revital-ization of both spirit and infra-structure.

Whether it’s delving into anationally-acclaimed art muse-um, or sharing stimulatingconversation with locals at afriendly, hip coffee shop, GlensFalls is the place to visit andenjoy.

This year, more than ever,however, it’s a must-see desti-nation.

It’s in the midst of a culturalrevival that includes hostingworld-class art exhibitions,critically acclaimed theaterproductions, and a symphonyorchestra that ranks with oth-

ers from far-larger cities.Then there’s the vastly

expanded Crandall PublicLibrary, which was rededicat-ed in Dec. 2009 after doublingin size, which now hosts morepublic events and offers moreservices than ever.

This continuing cultural ren-aissance has meant Glens Fallshas been flourishing anddeveloping commercially,while other similar small citieshave floundered.

Culturally, its been blessed,as the historic Hyde Collectioncontinues to bring major exhi-bitions to town and bringinternational recognition toGlens Falls.

Whether it’s CrandallLibrary, The Hyde, the LowerAdirondack Regional ArtsCouncil, Adirondack TheatreFestival, the ChapmanHistorical Museum, or theWorld Awareness Children’sMuseum — now relocated onWarren St. — they are all play-ing a part in Glens Falls

remarkable revival.This cultural energy has

attracted and nurtured a vari-ety of events, venues andactivities in the region thatenrich the lives of residentsand visitors alike. Just look atour events calendar printed inthis guide.

Recreational opportunitiesabound For recreation in GlensFalls, there’s the beach atHaviland’s Cove, where peo-ple can swim in the HudsonRiver, with water cleaner thanit was 100 years ago.

Or, take the family out on abike path following the FeederCanal, and discover historicsites where industries onethrived.

A leisurely ride, walk orrollerblade trip down theWarren County bike trail— aformer railway route — notonly offers a scenic excursion,but unique glimpses of theregion and its history thatcan’t be seen from vehicles.The Warren County bike path

is stretches throughQueensbury to Lake George,and at its other end feeds intoa network of pedestrian andbicycle venues in WashingtonCounty.

But don’t forget downtownGlens Falls, where strollingdown Glen St. and its side-streets offers an unrushedexperience. Duck into gal-leries and antique shops butalso take a variety of candidglimpses at historic land-marks.

Don’t forget that coffee shopwhere the alternative culturethrives and Ralph Nader hasfound an oasis in the NorthCountry — it’s the Rock HillBake Shop and Cafe.

For entertainment, check outour events calendar printed inthis guide, plus note these stel-lar events planned for theCharles R. Wood Theater,which was built with localdonors who were committed todeveloping the cultural assetsof Glens Falls.

Glens Falls is enjoying a cultural revival
