Raquette Lake

Love it when former staff come to visit!

Macie Groves worked for us for several years.  She now lives in Portland, Oregon and came east this July for her grandfather’s 80th birthday. Macie and her boyfriend come back to visit.

Largest newspaper on Long Island mentions W.W. Durant.

Thanks Mitch Edelstein for bringing this to our attention. http://www.newsday.com/travel/new-york-s-adirondacks-offer-plenty-of-fall-foliage-1.6010193

Raquette Lake and Adirondacks in this month’s issue Smithsonian Magazine!

It’s interesting to note that the word “vacation” comes from the fact that the wealthy during the Gilded Age period in American history left or vacated the dirt and heat of the city and headed north to the coolness of the mountains and wilderness….hence vacation!  Read all about the birthplace of the American vacation on the link below.  Nice press for our own beloved Great Camp Sagamore. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/Where-Was-the-Birthplace-of-the-American-Vacation-199170351.html?c=y&page=3
