LAKE GEORGE Often

called the

Queen

American Lakes, Lake George’s

crystalline waters rival any of the great bodies of water around the world. It is frequently compared to Lake Lucerne and Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

The lake’s beauty is framed by the heavily wooded Adirondack Mountains which slope directly down to the water’s edge. An abundance of islands of all shapes and sizes offer recreation of every imaginable possibility. Thirty-two miles long and “Lake George is without four and one half mile wide comparison, the most (at Bolton Landing), the lake beautiful water I ever saw…” —Thomas Jefferson has over 300 islands ranging in size from a mere knoll to a one and one half-mile long island covering 72 acres. Most of the islands are state-owned and offer camping and picnicking to summer enthusiasts. In 1692, a French missionary, Father Isaac Joques, was the first non-Native to see the lake. He and his small party were attacked and captured by the Mohawks, but he escaped and returned home to France. Sent back in 1696 by the French Governor on a peace treaty mission with the Iroquois, Joques reached the foot of Lake George on the Feast of Corpus Christi and renamed the lake “Lac du Saint Sacrement.” Father Joques later died a martyr at the hands of the Mohawks. In 1939, a statue was erected in Battleground Park and dedicated to him. It remains there today. The lake was the backdrop of many bloody battles during the French and Indian War. In 1755, as the British sought to push the French out of North America, Major General William Johnson of the British Army advanced from Albany to Lake Saint Sacrement with a force of 2,200 colonial troops and 300 Native Americans. Just prior to the Battle of Lake George, they encamped at the head of the lake, where Johnson rechristened it “Lake George” in honor of his king. Following that battle, Johnson quickly built a fortress he called Fort William Henry, which was eventually taken by the French under the Marquis de Montcalm. These events formed the basis of James Fenimore Cooper’s famous novel The Last of the Mohicans. Lake George was also the scene of Revolutionary War battles. In May 1775, Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold and the Green Mountain Boys seized Fort Ticonderoga from the British. It was the first American victory in the Revolution. After the Civil War, the Adirondacks and the Lake George Region became sought-after vacation retreats for the wealthy from the New York City area. Hotels and inns sprang up to meet the needs of those visiting the area. Entire families and their servants traveled by train from New York City to the village, where they disembarked at the train station by the steamboat dock. Some traveled farther north by steamboat to the hotels and guest houses on the northern end of the lake. The area is rich in attractions, ranging from amusement parks and miniature golf to boat cruises and parasailing. Sport fishermen find the lake’s cold water to be a rich fishery in all seasons. In the summer months, swimmers and sunbathers revel in the beaches and refreshing waters.

The Lake George Chamber of Commerce is happy to answer any questions regarding the area. Contact the Chamber at 518-668-5755

Something “Fruity” is Brewing this Summer at the Adirondack Pub & Brewery ADKpub6/10.indd 1

It’s hot-hot-hot and the Adirondack Pub & Brewery is serving up their tasty Lake George summer brews plus an exciting new addition – refreshing watermelon wheat beer! Located on Canada Street in Lake George Village, John Carr, owner of the Adirondack Pub & Brewery creates a unique atmosphere for diners by combining a fun and rustic pub environment, along with a full-service brewery featuring state of the art, award-winning brews and fine dining – promising to please any palette. An expert beer craftsman, John’s hobby of home brewing started more than 10 years before opening the Adirondack Pub & Brewery in 1999. John’s passion for brewing developed after spending years in Europe, which has since influenced his beer crafting style as he uses a brewing system that is German based allowing him to brew lagers, unlike the English brewing style. At the Adirondack Pub’s brewery, the fermenters are closed, not open, as with the English style; which en-ables John to produce popular traditional brews like a traditional Czech Pilsner, Bear Naked Ale (a German alternative style beer), and Pacific Northwest IPA, an unfiltered, very strong, “hoppy” beer. And, for those who prefer a lighter beer, the Adirondack Brew Pub offers Hefe Weizen plus, debuting this summer, the all new Watermelon Wheat beer — the perfect light beer for a hot summer day.A true artist to the craft, John attributes the brew creation based on his personal style and tastes, “I’m a style buff,” John says. The brewery is also known for creating a variety of seasonal favors including the pub’s Adirondack Weiss Beer, Oktoberfest, Maple Porter and Winter Lager. And, while you are cooling off with one of their favorite a summer brews, they will be busy making fall and winter favorites as well as creating new brews for their annual onsite Oktoberfest to be held on October 16, 2010. The true success of John’s brews can be found in the awards that line the walls of the pub.

6/10/10 1:10 PM

Most recently, this past April, at TAPSM New York, one of New York State’s largest craft beer festivals recently held at Hunter Mountain, the Adirondack Pub & Brewery won “Best Brewery in the Hudson Valley” award and “3rd Best Craft Beer in the Hudson Valley” award for their Dirty Blonde Ale. Also, at Saratoga’s Battle of the Brews, the brewery won 2nd and 4th “Best in Show” for their Hefewiezen 4th and IPA, and 2nd place in “People’s Choice” for The Bear Naked Ale. Although John is proud of his fresh, handcrafted beers, he is also very focused on the restaurant aspect of the Adirondack Pub & Brewery. With table bases made from tree trunks, a tree archway over the front door, and birch log trim on the bar, the ambiance is unmistakably rustic Adirondack. John even salvaged an antique mahogany bar from a 1930s-era Lake George tavern, and created a bar mirror from wooden arches removed from an old church in Ticonderoga, NY. The porch is decidedly “Great Camp” style, with hop vines growing up around the deck – making the atmosphere a sight to see for diners. “We’re serious about the food,” John emphasizes. As such, he touts the menu created by head chef Cale Gleason which features an abundance of seafood, including Wasabi with Panko Breading; Southwestern fare, and all-American staples such as certified Black Angus Prime Rib; as well as vegetarian choices. The lunch menu features a variety of favorites including tasty burgers and wraps, chicken sandwiches, soups and salads. A children’s menu lists kids’ favorites such as cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and spaghetti – and each child receives a free balloon with a dinner purchase. Dont forget to visit the memorabilia store, full of pint glasses and Great Pub tee shirts. The Adirondack Brew Pub is open seven days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. After Labor Day, the restaurant is open on weekends with the exception of March. Attend a free brewery tours held on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. and on Saturdays at noon. For more information please visit adkpub.com or call: (518) 668-0002.

The hot air balloon is the oldest successful human-carrying flight!

On Nov 21, 1783, in Paris, France, the first untethered manned flight was made in a hot air balloon. Today balloon envelopes are made in all kinds of shapes, such as hot dogs, rocket ships, and the shapes of commercial products. A hot air balloon consists of a bag called the envelope that is capable of containing heated air. Suspended beneath is a gondola or wicker basket (in some long-distance or highaltitude balloons, a capsule), which carries passengers and (usually) a source of heat, in most cases an open flame. The heated air inside the envelope makes it buoyant since it has a lower density than the relatively cold air outside the envelope. Unlike gas balloons, the envelope does not have to be sealed at the bottom since the air near the bottom of the envelope is at the same pressure as the surrounding air. In today’s sport balloons the envelope is generally made from nylon fabric and the mouth of the balloon (closest to the burner flame) is made from fire resistant material. There is some speculation, from a demonstration led by British modern hot air balloonist in the late 1970s and again in 2003, that hot air balloons could have been used by people of the Nazca culture of Peru some 1500 to 2000 years ago, as a tool for designing the famous Nazca ground figures and lines.

First manned flight

The first clearly recorded instance of a balloon carrying passengers used hot air to generate buoyancy and was built by the two French brothers in France. The brothers experimented with unmanned balloons and flights with animals and as the mother of any boy will know. Their mother must have died to come around the corner of the barn to find one of the family’s pets lifting off into the clouds. The first tethered balloon flight with humans on board took place on October 15, 1783. King Louis XVI had originally decreed that condemned criminals would be the first

pilots, but de Rozier, along with Marquis François d’Arlandes, successfully petitioned for the honor. The first military use of a hot air balloon happened during the battle of Fleurus where the French used the balloon l’Entreprenant as an observation post. Modern hot air balloons, with an onboard heat source, were pioneered by Ed Yost, beginning in the 1950s; his work resulted in his first successful flight, on October 22, 1960. Hot air balloons are able to fly to extremely high altitudes. On November 26, 2005, Vijaypat Singhania set the world altitude record for highest hot air balloon flight. He took off from downtown Bombay, India, and landed 149 miles south in Panchale. The longest duration record was set by Swiss psychiatrist Bertrand Piccard, Auguste Piccard’s grandson, and Briton Brian Jones, Flying in the Breitling Orbiter 3. It was the first nonstop trip around the world by balloon. The balloon left Château-d’Oex, Switzerland, on March 1, 1999, and landed at 1:02 a.m. on March 21 in the Egyptian desert 300 miles south of Cairo. The two men broke distance, endurance, and time records, traveling 19 days, 21 hours, and 55 minutes. Steve Fosset broke the record for shortest time around the world on 3 July 2002. The new record is 320 h 33 min. Credit: Wiki online encyclopedia

By Linda Ellingsworth

What’s more American than good old spaghetti and meatballs? Well, it’s not really American, of course, it’s Italian. Well, make that Chinese, based on our elementary school history lessons. But our school-house lessons weren’t very accurate either. It seems that the noodle-like food that Marco Polo brought back from China was a starchy product made from breadfruit – not durum wheat. No, research shows that our favorite Italian food actually comes from the Middle East. The first reference of noodles cooked by boiling is in the Jewish Talmud in the year 5 A.D. Written in Aramaic, the word used to describe the noodles was itriyah. This word stands for the dried noodles purchased from a vendor, not fresh homemade noodles. Because these dried noodles were portable it’s likely that Arab invaders carried the noodles with them in their conquest of Sicily. Palermo became an Arab colony. According to the Arab geographer Al Idrisi, a flour-based product in the shape of strings was produced there. The Sicilian connection continues with the word “maccaruni,” which means “made into a dough by force.” Durum wheat requires a lot of force to work, and in old times, pasta was made by kneading the dough with feet. It’s thought that this Sicilian word is the origin of “macaroni.” There are some very old Sicilian lasagna dishes still eaten there today that have the raisins and spices introduced by the Arabs, which makes the case stronger for the Arab-Sicilian pasta connection. The lucky accident was that the climate of Italy turned out to

Filet Mignon.......................................................$31.75 Topped with Gorenzola blue cheese and balsamic reduction.

be perfect for the growing of durum wheat, the hard wheat that semolina comes from. Since dried pasta could be stored in ships, it became popular in the 14th and 15th centuries. When Spanish explorers traveled to the New World, dried pasta probably made the trip with them. Their ships brought home many new foods they had discovered in the New World, including the tomato, and this new fruit was the perfect partner for Italian pasta. By the 17th century, pasta’s low cost, easy availability and versatility made it part of the daily diet throughout Italy. But it wasn’t until 1839 that the first recipe for tomatoes with pasta, “vermicelli co le pommodoro,” was written by Ippolito Cavalcanti, Duke of Buonvicino. Eventually Naples, with its perfect climate for drying pasta, became Italy’s pasta center. Pasta became popular in the United States in the early 1900s, when the Italian immigrants who came to this country brought their spaghetti recipes with them. Most of the recipes that became commonplace here came from the Campania area of Italy. The Sicilian immigrants found it difficult to obtain their traditional ingredients in America, and many adopted the Campanian style of cooking. Today, however, there has been a trend to return to old Sicilian cuisine. The Porreca family of Lake George

is part of trend to return to pasta’s roots. At Porreca’s Restaurant, at Nordick’s Motel, Chef Nicholas Porreca creates fresh pasta for his entrees. Nick, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, makes the pasta dough one day in advance. The next day the dough is sheeted and put through a pasta machine. He makes two types of pasta: Pappardelle, a thick cut, and Tagietelle, a thinner cut similar to fettucini. It’s then cut into the desired shapes. Nick uses his handmade pasta to make his own ravioli as well. One favorite is “Green Ravioli,” made with sautéed greens including swiss chard, mixed with cheeses and served in a light tomato sauce. “Ricotta Gnocci,” a ricotta cheese and sausage dumpling is another of his creations. Fresh pasta “takes a little more prep,” he says, “but the difference is like night and day.” Nick, who honed his skills at New York City restaurants like Le Cirque, is a firm believer in the concept of “fresh.” “Everything here is from scratch,” he says, including the bread, butter and mozzarella cheese that he makes. Porreca’s Restaurant is open daily for breakfast and dinner, with families welcome. The recently renovated eatery also has a deck for outdoor dining.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best culinary school in the world.â&#x20AC;? said Paul Bocuse, world-renowned French chef, of The Culinary Institute of America located in Hyde Park, New York. The school argumentally produces the best certified master chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the world, many becoming leaders in the industry; the list of graduate successes to much to feature in this story. Their students spend over 1,300 hours in the kitchen or bakeshop, more than at almost any other culinary school. Many of these graduates head to other parts of the country, and beyond, spreading culinary joy to all who have the good fortune of sampling their creations. Others prefer to remain in New York State, bringing their fresh food creativity to Manhattan, the Hudson Valley, Western New York and the Adirondacks. Jacob R. Guay, a Fort Ann native, and chef /owner of the new restaurant Bistro LeRoux, located on Rte 149 in Lake George, graduated from the Culinary Institute with honors and honed his fine dining and management skills in various restaurants and resorts throughout Northwest. While there, Jacob met his life partner Tiffany. Chef Tiff attended the Institute for Educational Therapy in the small town of Cotati, in the heart of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wine Country.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was there that I learned about catering, being a private chef, and a personal chef in an all natural manner, specific to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health needs.,â&#x20AC;? she said. Tiffany graduated with the title of Natural Chef. Together they brought their love for food to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canyons Resortâ&#x20AC;? in Park City, Utah where under the direction of Chef Jake, Mountain Executive Chef and Chef Tiffany, Lookout Cabin Executive Sous Chef, the restaurant soared to new heights and was featured in several prominent publications, including Vanity Fair, Wine Enthusiast and Ski Magazine.Â Although they worked at extraordinary venues surrounded by natural beauty, the opportunity of running their own restaurant and being back home was to good to pass up. So, the couple packed their belongings, along with their twodecades of collective culinary experience and returned to the North Country to share their next culinary adventure, Bistro LeRoux with all of us. Bistro LeRoux, located on 668 State Route 149 in lake George offers a refreshing, creative menu with ingredients inspired by the seasons. Diners also have the option of enjoying a most impressive wine lists. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made by calling 518-798-2982.

Summer Wine & Food Pairings By Megan Shuman

Summer in the Adirondacks is definitely one of my favorite times and is always way too short. I start looking forward to summer during that first March thaw, the one that happens every year and makes us feel like warm days are foolishly just around the corner, that winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hold is weakening and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sipping white wine by the lake soon. But winter will always treat us to one more fantastic display of aggressive behavior, dumping sometimes feet of snow on us, holding on for a few weeks longer. Thus, when mud season is finally over and we are awarded the time to sit by the lake finally with that glass of white wine, it is pure bliss. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to pair wine with food or just enjoy an afternoon with good friends and conversation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a great time to take advantage of the opportunity to expand your palate with yet unexplored wines and regions. Summer is a fantastic time to do this, and to start your exploration, here are a few of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hottest wines that are sure to impress. Rose is an often misunderstood and thus underappreciated wine I actually like to drink all year long. Made from numerous grapes, grenache, syrah and sangiovese, to name a few, rose is produced anywhere from Willamette Valley in Oregon to Southern California and Argentina, Spain to Italy and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historically most popular region of Provence, France. It can range from fruity (S. America and California) to dry, and has flavor profiles that run

the entire gamut, including ripe raspberries and strawberries. 6/10/10 2:53 PM I like to say that pink wine makes the sun shine, and my favorite food in the summer is a bowl of gazpacho on a hot day. Venture in to North Creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barVino (www.barvino.net) to experience housemade gazpacho from their very own garden with a glass of El Coto rose from Spain. And rose is a classic French pairing with fresh mussels and French fries, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;moulle fritesâ&#x20AC;?, and hence pairs fantastically with little neck clams by the bushel, done with a garlic white wine sauce. You might try an appetizer cruise down Main Street from barVino to the Barking Spider Tavern and Restaurant for this match. It is such a fantastic pairing I can almost smell the garlic simmering. Reislings are in many ways as misinterpreted as roses. As intimidating as foreign labels can appear, German reislings can be easily identified if you have a few reisling tools in your bag. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trockenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which means dry or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;halbtrokenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which translates to halfdry, or off-dry are the two classifications of residual sugar you will find indicated on the label. The sugar levels are determined in reislings by both the time and method of harvest. They start with Kabinett, the earliest harvest, lowest alcohol and lightest of the harvested styles, to Spatlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, and Eiswein, Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier desert wine, produced from grapes actually frozen on the vine before harvest. Trust me, even my German heritage doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help me here, and I definitely canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pronounce these words properly without making a terrible face.

Farm to Table for Healthier Eating By Megan Shuman

Advertising that your restaurant endorses “slow food” seems like a terrible marketing plan, yet we are more and more often finding restauranteurs looking for ways to do just that, and it is bringing amazing flavors to our palates with a conscience at the heart of it all. In a time where we are all trying to be more aware of the impact we have on our surroundings and the earth, the question of where our food comes from is incredibly important. Energy costs and packaging involved with shipping food long distance can be avoided by simply looking to local farms where more often than not the product you find will be far superior to that which spent time travelling long distance. As well as protecting the flavors of food, buying locally also ensures the preservation of indigenous breeds and species, the survival of traditional, sustainable practices and production methods, and thus protects the local landscape. Ultimately, supporting local farms keeps us connected with the people we share it with. Hence, “slow food”

Within the Lake George Region, there are restaurants where the dedication to providing patrons with superior local product is supremely important. Two of these are The Owl at Twilight, in Olmsteadville and The Farmhouse Restaurant at the Top of the World Golf Course in Lake George. Both of these establishments are known for the attention to detail come to be expected during an exquisite meal experience. The foundation of this meal is of course a talented chef and staff but also the use of and harvested local meats, cheeses and produce with sustainability in mind. The Farmhouse Restaurant hosts Harvest Dinners throughout the summer on Thursday evenings at 7 pm. These evenings showcase the freshest produce and local meats and cheeses and are a fantastic expression of how food should be experienced, with friends and family in a setting as stunning as the views. Chef Kevin London’s talents are showcased by a constantly evolving menu highlighting

Lake George... Follow Rt . 9N

out of the village of

L ake G eorge

and you will find yourself winding along the shoreline of Lake George past an array of accommodations, summer homes, estates, and attractions. The road you travel was once called Millionaires Row. This ten mile long shoreline between the villages of Lake George and Bolton Landing once entertained the wealthy and famous of the era, and a romantic era it was. After the Civil War, there were many empires built along this road. The post-Civil War period brought the rise of technology and the American economy prospered. As the country turned from an agricultural to an industrial nation, great fortunes were made. Many of the more fortunate came to Lake George in the summer to escape the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oppressive heat. Today, you can see the remains of many of those great resorts. The Marcella Sembrich Studio located further up the road is a testimony to the famous opera singer who came to Bolton Landing in 1921. Famous musicians visiting her in Bolton created quite a sensation in this quiet community. The Sembrich Museum is open to the public and is well worth a visit, if only to walk the picturesque grounds and visit the studio which tells the story of this great performer. As you wind your way up Route 9N there are many charming dining options for your pleasure, offering a wide range of cuisines from authentic German, to old world Italian, to American style grilled steaks and chops, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a millionaire to enjoy them.

The first humans to inhabit the Bolton territory were the Prehistoric Stone Age â&#x20AC;&#x153;Woodlandâ&#x20AC;? Indians who traveled through the Lake George valley from 5,000 to 10,000 B.C. Native Americans were still present here summers at the turn of the 20th Century, selling their handmade wares to seasonal visitors. One of their ancient legends, passed down through centuries, tells the story of the Sacrificial Stone on Mohican Point in Bolton Bay. In 1913, author W.H. Samson described the ancient legend of Mohican Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sacrificial Stone. In short, the Legend is about a beautiful Indian girl who was captured by the Mohicans and brought to these shores from afar. A young warrior chief fell instantly in love with her, but he had to leave to fight in a distant battle. While he was gone, the cruel old men and women left behind had burned her at the stake. While doing so, a ghost-like warrior-spirit was said to have leaped from the flames, carrying the body of the young maiden. The spirit ran to the top of a large stone, then leaped skyward, vanishing over the distant hills. Strangely, the young brave who had gone to battle never returned to his tribe, however every year, a warrior was found slain on the stone. An inscription scratched on the stone could be faintly read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;For every hair on the maidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head, a Mohican brave would dieâ&#x20AC;?. The Sacrificial Stone is still there on Mohican Point. FIRST EUROPEAN VISITORS Following old and worn Indian paths that threaded throughout the territory, the first European to view the Bolton, Lake George region was the French Jesuit missionary Father Isaac Jogues. He and his two lay assistants Groupil and Couture christened our beautiful lake â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lac du Saint Sacrementâ&#x20AC;? (Lake of the Blessed Sacrement) on May 30, 1646, the Eve of the Festival of Corpus Christi. It was their mission to convert the Native Americans to Christianity. These Native Americans did not appreciate this intrusion on their hunting grounds. Cutting off his finger at first as a warning, they later took his life.

BOLTON LANDING ON LAKE GEORGE Today, Diamond Point and the village of Bolton Landing offer vacationers and residents alike a myriad of recreational opportunities. Sailing, boating, diving, swimming, fishing, tennis and other activities can be enjoyed while overlooking the lake and mountains. While these activities are open to all today, the area has a rich history as the playground of the rich and famous. Many of homes along the Bolton Road’s “Millionaire’s Row” survive to this day. During the golden era of the 1800s, the area was populated with summer estates and hotels offering a sophisticated summer experience for the wealthy vacationer who traveled by rail, stagecoach and lake steamer to relax in the cool mountain air at the shores of this impressive lake. One of the earliest accommodations was Mohican Point, erected in 1800 to serve travelers. In 1856 the tavern was sold and upgraded, opening as a hotel called the Mohican House. It managed to cater to an affluent clientele in spite of the fact that it was smaller and had fewer amenities than hotels like the 600-room Fort William Henry in Lake George Village.

Up Yonda Farm, a Regional Treasure Discover the natural beauty of the Adirondacks in Bolton Landing. Up Yonda Farm offers 73 acres with a spectacular view overlooking Lake George. Public nature programs on a variety of topics are presented year round. Natural history exhibits featuring a diorama with native mammals and birds are housed in the museum. Watch for wildlife outdoors as you hike along one of our woodland trails. There are perennial gardens, including a butterfly garden from June to September. The auditorium was the first building renovation at Up Yonda Farm. This barn was formerly used to house chickens for an egg business operated by Alice and John Scott. The exterior looks much the same as it did fifty years ago. Today, the interior is comfortable while retaining the look and feel of an old barn. It is the starting point for most of our nature programs. Rustic features combine with more modern elements to create a unique environment for presentations. Nature photography and other regional exhibits support the Adirondack theme. Honey bees can be seen up close in an observation hive during the summer months. Web: www.UpYondaFarm.com.

SCHROON LAKE A scenic body of water that stretches across Warren and Essex Counties, Schroon Lake is 9 miles long and 1.5 miles across at its widest point. There are differing stories about the origin of its name. One legend tells of a Mohawk warrior who fell in love with an Indian maiden named “Sca-ro-na,” or “Soft-Eyed Fawn.” In fleeing an enemy attack by canoe, the warrior was killed. In her despair, Scaro-na leaped into the lake and sank beneath the surface. The legend inspired the name Sca-ro-na’s Lake, which was changed to Schroon Lake in 1805. The Schroon Lake region was once a favored getaway of the rich and famous. Schroon Lake’s best known hotel, Scaroon Manor, was the filming location of the 1958 movie classic “Marjorie Morningstar,” starring Natalie Wood. Today, Schroon Lake is a thriving tourist destination that combines small-town ambience with modern recreation. From Celtic to Roots to Gypsy Jazz… you’ll find a variety of music offered by the the town Arts Council on Tuesday nights at the Boathouse Theater.

Adirondack General Store

For a trip back in time to old Adirondack days, venture over to the town of Adirondack to the Adirondack General Store on East Shore Drive. The 160-year-old business was purchased eight years ago by Rhinebeck natives Jay & Debbie Close. Even though Adirondack is off the beaten path (“people either come here on purpose or they’re lost,” Close quips), the couple has no regrets about the major change in lifestyle. “We’re here to stay,” he said. The store can be reached at 518-494-4408, or visit their website at www.adkgeneralstore.com

pottersville Just a short hop off Exit 26 of the Adirondack Northway, the hamlet of Pottersville has come alive with new and revitalized businesses. The 160-year-old Wells House has been reborn under the guidance of new owners Maryian and Vincent McCann. Across the road, the Stagecoach Antiques and Home Décor shop offers a delightful mix of antiques and new décor items. During the early days of Adirondack Holster the Wells House was a key stage coach stop for visitors heading to the grand hotels along the shores of Schroon Lake. Guests would arrive, freshen up, dine and get a bed for the night before catching the steam ship that would transport them to their summer destinations.

Dealers include Floss and Bob Savarie from Olmsteadville’s Board & Batten Antique Shop, Cindy & Don Nichols of Saratoga Springs, Mr. & Mrs. Richard Grimm also from Saratoga, Kathy & John Feiden of Mountain Niche Antiques and The Foothills of North Creek. Joe Roth & Trudy Lalinde of Queensbury, Donalda & Clennan Ellfritz of Clen’s Collectibles. Ellen & Gregg Schaefer of Clifton Park and Joan Conway. Just 23 miles North of Lake George Village you will find the Natural Stone Bridge and Caves Park. The massive stone bridge arch - the largest marble cave entrance in the east - dominates this spectacular display of Adirondack geology. Originally named Ponte de Dios (Bridge of God) by Spanish explorers and later described in Morse’s Geography of 1790, the stone bridge has captivated visitors for over 200 years. Unlike the slow forming limestone caverns, these marble caves were rapidly formed during the last ice age by an unusual East-West trending fault which exposed a layer of ancient marble to raging acidic floodwaters from melting glaciers. The facilities are a great site for birthday parties or corporate events (inquire for special pricing or after hours availability). Cabins are also available for rent. The caves are easily accessed, only 2.5 miles off of I-87 Exit 26 at the end of Stone Bridge Rd. For information call 518-494-7190 or visit www.stonebridgeandcaves.com

Fort Ticonderoga makes learning history a jolly good time!

Fort Ticonderoga was one of the most strategically important places in eighteenth-century North America. Called by some the “Key to the Continent,” it is no wonder that battles were fought here during both the French & Indian War (1755-1763) and the American Revolution (17751783). Battles continue to be fought at the Fort in re-enactments and in exciting, “learninghistory-is-fun” play-acting. On August 12th, Fort Ticonderoga and the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington VT, have teamed together to present “History Comes Alive!” a day long children’s theater camp designed to bring history to life through drama and movement. This program makes me want to be a kid again! If your child shows an interest in history, or is totally bored by history, you will want him or her involved! Just imagine you are one of the Green Mountain Boys trying to decide whether to follow Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold across Lake Champlain to sneak up and attack Fort Ticonderoga. Or, pretend you are one of the family members of the British soldiers living in the fort, playing, having dinner, and going to sleep totally unaware that you are about to be attacked! Children will learn and play the part of both true and fictional characters, dress up in period costumes and carry props. And, with a lot of hootin’ and hollerin,’ running, jumping and having a real good time, they re-enact the 1775 capture of Fort Ticonderoga and learn a good chunk of American history that they’ll never forget! Oh to be a kid again! The day ends with an informal presentation of the day’s highlights for families, friends, and fort visitors on the Fort’s historic Parade Ground. Space is limited and registration is open on a first-come, firstserved basis. The cost is $70 per child. A limited number of scholarships are available enabling children to attend at $35 dollars go to http://www. fort-ticonderoga.org/education/family-activities.htm for more information and registration. Parents know the children learn best by actively doing and seeing. During the months of July and August, Fort Ticonderoga provides a number of “do & see” 18th century activities that for parents and children to enjoy and learn at the same time such as; make your own powder horn, miniature Bateau boat and tri-corner hat, dressing up in period clothing, playing 18thcentury games and with toys reflective of the time and creating a soldiers diary. At the King’s Garden, located behind the fort’s pavilion, you can learn how herbs were used for both cooking and medicinal purposes, see what children in the 18th century ate and how they made a garden, and learn interesting trivia and facts about insects, vegetables and companion gardening. The garden’s “Hands-on” programs include clipping sprigs of lavender to make your own a scented sachet, decorating a pet rock and learning about Irises. “Weekend Watercolors,” held every weekend in July and August, affords you an opportunity to capture on paper the garden’s color and beauty. If you prefer to be a bystander to the action and view history from a lawn chair, twice a year historical reenactors bring Fort Ticonderoga’s military history to life through recreated battles, including: Grand Encampment of the French & Indian War on June 26 & 27, 2010, Revolutionary War Encampment on September 11 & 12, 2010.

The Adirondack Balloon Festival has become one of the leading event of it’s kind in the country. Sept. 23-26, 2010

So says the New York Daily News, and lots of other enthusiasts. This years event will be held from Thursday September 23rd to Sunday the 26th. For 35 yeas now hundreds of balloonist have planned to be in Glens Falls that weekend. And thousands of spectators have gladly blocked out these days on their new calenders each year. This years four day festival will begin at Crandall Park in Glens falls with the opening ceremony and flight of 12+ hot air balloons. The ceremonies will be entertained by the Stony Creek Band who will be preforming in the shell. Weather plays an important part in the event. Regular returnees will reminisce about the sun and wind and rain and in which year they happened. Balloon flights are scheduled weather permitting and the event is free of charge. This event stays in the minds of children long after they grow to adult hood. My kids and many more remember getting up in the dark and driving to the event, walking out into the mist of this huge field littered with balloon baskets all in different stages of lift off. And the pure amazing site of a balloon slowly lifting into the air silently oh so silently until the blast from the propane air heater. So be sure to make this a memory for you and your children and leave the dogs at home because the organizers really believe the only dogs that should be at the festival are the dog balloons. Schedule at: www.AdirondackBalloonFestival.com. There are two balloon companies in our region. Sun Kiss Ballooning and Adirondack Balloon Flights, check them out on line

An Adirondack Tradition –

RODEO!

Rodeo in the Adirondacks? Yes! The Lake Luzerne area has a tradition of rodeos and dude ranches going back more than 55 years. Families can continue to enjoy professional rodeo performances today at Painted Pony Ranch in Lake Luzerne, where cowboys and cowgirls will compete for prizes in eight exciting events three nights a week. PAINTED PONY celebrates the opening of its 56th season on July 3rd, and will continue throughout the summer with rodeos on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights from 8-10 p.m. The non-stop action features events sanctioned by the American Professional Rodeo Association (APRA) and International Pro Rodeo Association (IPRA) on Saturdays and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) on Wednesdays and Fridays. Experience the thrill of watching brave cowboys competing in bull riding, bareback riding and saddle bronc riding. Be impressed by the lightning-quick skills of the steer wrestlers, calf ropers, team ropers and breakaway ropers. Aspiring young cowgirls will get charged up by the speedy barrel racers as they fly around the barrels and gallop full-tilt toward “home.” It’s a night the whole family will remember for a long time to come. Before the rodeo starts, take in some authentic Texas BBQ at the Longhorn Saloon II from 6-8 p.m. For starters, try the Saloon’s smoked Texas-style BBQ ribs. The menu also includes BBQ chicken, Corn on the Cob, baked beans, hamburgers, hot dogs, hot rolls and scrumptious desserts. BBQ pricing is $12 for adults, $8 for children 12 and under, and offers $4 kids’ specials. After the rodeo, the kitchen will remain open from 10 p.m. to midnight with a light menu. Painted Pony also has a gift shop, candy store and concessions on the rodeo grounds. There have also been improvements to the Painted Pony complex, including “the new full cover over the grand stand.” For post-rodeo socializing, the Longhorn Saloon will be open until 2 a.m. The Saloon will feature Nightly entertainment starting at 10 p.m. Owner Shawn Graham has completed many improvements to the Painted Pony complex, including “The Longhorn Cafe”. In addition to operating Painted Pony, Shawn continues to maintain the long-term family business, Graham Hoof Trimming. With his lifetime of rodeo experience, patrons are guaranteed a professional, well-run operation when they visit Painted Pony. Admission fee for the rodeo is $16 for adults and $10 for children. Kids three and under are admitted free of charge. Painted Pony is located 5.4 miles west of Lake George on Route 9N South in Lake Luzerne.

WARRENSBURG W arrensburg

was once the hub of

W arren C ounty.

In the old days, lumbermen utilized the high water of the Hudson and Schroon Rivers to get their logs to market. The street along the waterway still shows the signs of light industry that employed numerous residents. The grist mill has been converted into a charming restaurant, where one can see the inner workings of the machinery and simultaneously enjoy a cocktail or a good meal. Additional historic buildings have either been converted to usable shop space or historical museums. Warrensburg often called “ Antique Capital of the Adirondacks,” and the gateway to the Adirondacks is a bustling little town. Warrensburg offers plenty to do, any season of the year, including options such as golfing, tennis, hiking, biking, cross country skiing, canoeing, horseback riding, relaxing at the public beach, and fishing or hunting which are as natural as the changing seasons. You can also browse through any of the numerous antique shops. The town supports its thriving antique business by hosting many arts and crafts and antique shows through the spring and summer seasons. The town is probably best known for its “World’s Largest Garage Sale” held every year. Over 500 dealers offer shoppers every imaginable treasure.

Horses and Camping have long attracted visitors to the Warrensburg and Lake Luzerne Area. In the 50’s Warren County boasted a plethora of dude ranches. Thousand Acres situated on the Hudson River catered to guest seeking escape, relaxation and outdoor activity. After 1949 Ester and Jack Arehart turned the focus heavily on the horse ranch and hosted the first rodeo. Boulder Greens Dude Ranch was located on Emerald Lake northwest of Warrensburg. The name was changed to Sun Canyon Dude Ranch; this property housed 150 guests and 65 horses. Ski-Hi Ranch on the top of French Hill is completely surrounded by the state park land which afforded miles of mountain trails for horseback riders. Historically the Circe B Ranch was located on Friends Lake Road. The resort was purchased in 1960 by May and Joe Bogga and included six cottages. Today son Chris runs a very successful ranch and riding program by the same name. Mt. Kenyon Family Campground & Horseback Riding is owned and operated by Keith Rand, The property was purchased by his parents Harry and Mary Rand in 1966 and now has 100 sites and is celebrating its 43rd year in business. In 1999, horseback riding was added to their campground activities. Run by Peter Ruggiero, an experienced, local horseman with many years of riding and horse care. Riding is also available to the public. Come camp with us. Introduce your children to their imaginations. Search for salamanders after a summer rain. Climb the mountain rocks or fish for small brook trout in our stream. Ride along the base of our mountains deep into the woods, beside the stream. Make new friends with your fellow campers.....or perhaps with your favorite horse! And on those hot, summer days, cool off in a tube as you float down the Hudson River.

Ashe’s Hotel was formerly known as the Agricultural Hotel because of its association with the Warrensburg Fairgrounds, it is a distinctive 3-story Italianate-inspired frame building with a decorative, second-story, full-width porch and a bracketed cornice. However as nice as these architectural features are, it’s the depth of history that gives it even more character. Warrensburg, New York’s old fairgrounds were the site of one of the region’s earlier speedways, in the 1950’s to very early sixties. The track probably had a number of different promoters and names, but the prevailing label seems to Ashland Park. The Warrensburg track [sometimes referred to as Ashland Park] was located at the old Warren County fairgrounds in Warrensburg. If you found Ashe’s Hotel, you were at the gateway to the track. No one around Warrensburg called the track Ashland Park; they simply referred to it as “the fairgrounds.” Ashland Park may have come from Maurice Ashe, proprietor of Ashe’s Hotel, the local watering hole at the gateway to the old fairgrounds. Apparently dozens of locals, housed horses at the fairgrounds and raced them regularly until around 1950. One bit of evidence to that end was a rickety, old building that was known as “the Paddock” - situated easterly of the grandstand. It was used for dances and the like, but was demolished (or fell down) sometime during the stock car racing era, as were the smaller horse stables behind the grandstand. One of Warrensburgs local boys remembers his father as a faithful patron of Ashe’s establishment who came home one day with news that was to affect his young life for years to come. As Ben writes: “One day in 1952, my father, who preferred to spend his summer afternoons at Ashe’s Hotel & Bar near the entrance to the Fairgrounds, brought home a cardboard poster he’d been given by Maurice Ashe, the proprietor. I can still see it: “STOCK CAR RACING AT THE WARRENSBURG SPEEDWAY.” “THRILLS, SPILLS, PLENTY OF EXCITEMENT.”

Exceptional Lodging in the Adirondacks

In the early 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, this region of the Adirondacks was

the site for many logging camps and river drives which were initiated deep within the mountains. During the spring thaw, logs were floated down small streams which flowed into the Hudson River. Today this area offers some of the finest whitewater adventure in the country. From the put-in at the site where the Indian River joins the Hudson River, the seventeen mile trip drops approximately 6,750 vertical feet and passes through one of the greatest of the Adirondack Park land masses.

In the 1870â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a railroad was built to carry tourists into the wild and carloads of garnet out of North Creek. This vast resource of6/10/10 8:26 AM semiprecious and very hard stones found in large pockets within Gore Mountain was developed by the Barton Family. Although today garnet is used primarily for industrial grinding worldwide, garnet sand paper can be purchased in the local hardware store, and local jewelry and mineral shops offer Barton Mines garnet jewelry crafted by local artisans. Barton Mines is still the largest garnet mine in the world and offers guided tours of the original facility from Memorial Day to Labor Day. On March 16, 1993, the D&H Railroad deeded the historic depot property over to the North Creek Railway Depot Preservation Association. This momentous occasion was the result of hours of work by professionals and volunteers whose mission was to preserve the train station as an historic museum. An added bonus to the overall project was the announcement in January of 1995 that Warren County had received $1.6 million in federal funds to help it buy the rail line between Corinth and North Creek for a tourist train. History records North Creek as the location of the oldest ski area in the east. In the 30â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trains arrived at North Creek Station bringing multitudes of skiers to the area to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ride upâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;slide down.â&#x20AC;?

Alpacas in the Adirondacks For eight years Gore Mountain Farm Alpacas and the “Unicorns Without Horns” have been part of the North Country. In this summer of 2010 there is a special treat as 4 babies (crias) are expected in June – in fact the first one arrived on June 9th, a healthy little girl not even named as this goes to press. This means that throughout the summer you’ll get to see her and her mates frolicking in the pasture along with their older mates –the crias are the fastest! The Gift Shop at Gore Mountain Farm has become a popular spot for folks to find that special item and even do some early Christmas shopping. In these difficult economic times you want to spend your dollars wisely and a gift of alpaca is a quality item that can last for generations. Because we deal directly with importers we are able to offer the luxury of quality alpaca merchandise at very affordable prices. Since it is a natural fiber, alpaca breathes and can be used for summer weight clothing as well as providing superior winter warmth and comfort. Our shop also carries a variety of yarn, both imported and domestic and items made by local artisans. School groups and Scout troops frequently visit the farm and always leave charmed. There is nothing better than the look on peoples’ faces the when they get to touch a living, breathing alpaca. The first words out of their mouths are usually, “Oh, Wow!” followed by a huge grin. Right about then everyone understands why we call our alpacas “Unicorns Without Horns”. The farm and the store are open to the public daily from 10am to 6pm. There’s no charge to visit with the animals. You can find Gore Mountain Farm at 2642 State Route 28 (1.3 miles north of the Route 8 Wevertown traffic light) or call (518) 251-3040. Detailed directions are on our website at www. goremountainfarm.com. Drop by and prepare to be charmed.

tricky pronunciations and classifications I promise you a really fantastic experience. Anna at barVino, one of North Creek’s favorite dining gems, suggests a glass of Hugel dry reisling from the Alsace region in France to pair with the restaurant’s harissa mussels or the antipasto plate for a light summer snack. A light German Trocken Kabinett will be fantastic with sushi or spicy food or any of the varieties of goat cheese from Nettle Meadow Farm in Thurman overlooked by Crane Mountain (www.nettlemeadow.com). At the other end of the reisling spectrum, a chilled Eiswein will amaze you when paired with a ripe blue cheese, such as Old Chatham Sheephearding Company’s Ewe’s Blue (www. blacksheepcheese.com). Any good wine shop can steer you toward the kind of reisling you are looking for with the right level of sugar for the food you want to pair it with. The biggest trick to reisling is to ask questions! Look for German reislings, French reislings from the Alsace region of Northeast France or stay local with stunning reislings from New York’s Finger Lakes region. Throughout the year, this grape will continue to please your palate when paired with diverse food ranging from spicy Asian cusine to rich cheeses or poultry, pork or crab dishes. One of my new favorites is Malvasia. Italy’s most widely planted grape brings to the table flavors of honey and ripe Bosc pears with a hint of allspice. From diverse regions within Italy, from Tuscany, the heart of sangiovese country as well as Fruiliy in the Northwest and Sardina and Sicily in the South, Malvasia is often blended with Trebbiano and can be made into dry to sweet to sparkling wines. Malvasia is a great example of the old rule that a wine that is well paired with the food of the region from where it is grown. Coastal regions will often produce light wines to match seafood, and make for a great match with grilled shrimp. Inland wineries will produce a richer malvasia to match a provencal style sauce with grilled fish and poultry. South America is quickly growing popular for Torrontes, from

6/10/10 4:30 PM

Argentina, a floral grape well balanced with citrus and acidity. Try Argentina winemaker Susana Balbo’s Crios Torrontes (actually, try anything from Crios) if you’re looking for a new exploration in wine at an incredibly reasonable price. Torrontes will pair well with smoked meats and seafood, especially crab, and is another great white to drink all year long. Finally, you will find Austria’s Gruner Veltliner, a light, dry white that pairs perfectly with spicy food and fish dishes, and my kind of ‘drink me’ wine. The crisp unoaked Gruner Veltliner imparts white flower, herbal, cracked pepper flavors and makes for a great summer wine to drink on a mid-day canoe picnic on any Adirondack lake island. This wine is fantastic with the lighter fares of summer or even nothing at all, and younger bottles can be found incredibly inexpensive without sacrificing quality. Austria has been keeping these wines to itself for years, finally we have a chance to enjoy them more readily and only a matter of time before Gruner Veltliner is known as a common household wine. These wines are just a sampling of some fantastic white varietals to help break away from the norm, so to speak. Personally, as much fun as pairing food and wine is, I truly believe if you like the wine and you like the food you will be just fine with your pairings unless, of course, it’s drastically contrasting. If nothing else, wine is another good excuse to get your favorite people together and remember why they are your favorites. Ultimately, wine is meant to be a fun, unassuming, unintimidating, lively part of life, so get out there and try something new. I’m willing to bet you’ll find yourself surprisingly pleased, and might find a new favorite too.

Garnet History The Town of Johnsburg enjoyed a “garnet-rush” starting back in 1878 when Henry Hudson Barton came to North Creek in search of a better abrasive. Miners, prospectors and geologists explored the mountains of Johnsburg and adjacent Indian Lake. The target of their search was the rich deposits of garnet commonly knows as the “Adirondack Ruby” the official NYS gem stone. Like the diamond, garnet can serve dual roles. If it is a clear, uncracked crystal, it can be faceted to produce a beautiful gem stone, if imperfect, garnet can make an excellent industrial abrasive. With the help of local people, Barton found an outstanding source of garnet on Gore Mountain. After Barton’s visit, garnet was no longer a curiosity, but rather a valuable product to be mined and used commercially as an abrasive. The discovery provided a long term supply of the hardest commercial quality garnet ever found in the world. With good management, this allowed Barton to be the only garnet mining company to continue its existence as an important business contributing to the economy of Johnsburg. During the “hey-days” of garnet mining there were over 300 people involved in the various garnet mining activities. Besides Gore Mountain many small “hand-picking” mines were found and mined for short periods. The garnet from North Creek area is almost as hard as a diamond and it fractures into a multitude of sharp cutting edges. As an abrasive, garnet has dominated the industrial market for over 130 years. Today it is possible to visit the world famous historic garnet mine site and treasure hunt for your own precious garnet gemstones. A talented staff conducts the tour on the hour that begins with an informative lecture on the history and the geology of the Barton Mines and is followed up with instructions on how to identify and find your own garnet treasures! It is so much fun for all ages! For the shopper, exploring the old fashion mineral shop that was built in the early 1900’s is another treasure hunting experience. The shop is filled with fabulous garnet jewelry, garnet gifts for home decorating, science and nature toys, and so much more. This is a great Adirondack experience you should not miss.

If You Raced A Train, Who Would Win? A lone runner out for an early morning run along a shaded, winding dirt road is passed by a 120 Ton V-12 turbosupercharged diesel engine locomotive carrying an excursion of tourists, excited to be on an adventure, riding a train with a view of the Hudson River. As it slowly passed the runner his thoughts were “If the runner and the train started at the same time, could the runner beat the train?” So began the process of Gary Wilson’s idea to create an event to “Race The Train.” Because he was a teacher in the local school system, Wilson knew of the efforts to raise funds for graduating scholars. So he enlisted the assistance of the local Dollars For Scholars, and a great event began. This is the Ninth year running. Last Year just under 300 runners registered. 73 runners beat the train. The average time of the train was 1 hour and 7 minutes. Last year local winners Alex Benway and Carly Wynn of Queensbury. The race is 8.4

...exceptional local meats and cheeses paired with vegetables and herbs from the restaurant’s own organic gardens to create a culinary masterpiece. Regardless of the occasion, The Farmhouse Restaurant’s dedication to serving “Slow Food” paired with an exquisite atmosphere will provide you an unforgettable evening . Just look at The Owl at Twilight’s menu and you will find an obvious commitment to the earth and the local area. The menu highlights numerous local farms. As harsh as the weather is in the Adirondacks, the growing season is lenient and bountiful and enables Kilpatrick Family Farm in Granville to grow everything from artichokes to watermelon while being committed to growing organic and ethically. In Argyle, Mack Brook Farm nurtures cattle on 300 acres where they are born and raised without the use of antibodies or hormones. A member of NOFA, Northeast Organic Farm Association, Tilldale Farm in Hoosick provides The Owl with outstanding beef, pork and chicken. Battenkill Valley Creamery in Salem provides superior cream, milk and ice creams. Elihu Farm in Valley Falls is known for outstanding tender lamb. And in Thurman, Nettle Meadow

produces award winning goat cheese. The Owl at Twilight is committed to bring the ‘farm fresh to the table’ and your dining experience with them will be unparalleled because of the love and passion they have for food and the place they call home. Even as fantastic as The Owl at Twilight is however, even I like to cook at home occasionally, and Farmers Markets in the area provide an entertaining and healthy way to enjoy food and support local farms as well. The Lake George Region has many markets at convenient times throughout the week and the summer growing season where you can find the ripest product at its ideal season. Within Hamilton, Essex, Warren and Saratoga counties the markets can provide you with fresh produce throughout the summer so you tomatoes will always taste like tomatoes. Farmers markets bring a feeling with them of consciousness, and when we are conscious of what we are eating, we are benefitting more than just our bodies, we are benefitting the world around us. So mark your calendar, grab your reuseable grocery bags and hit the markets, fresh healthy options are incredibly close at hand.

23rd Annual Rustic Furniture Fair

· Adirondack rustic furniture was made by hand in the

www.longlakerealestate.com

www.adkantiques.com

region by local men who were guides and often carpenters and handymen. Their materials were primarily parts of trees—bark, twig, branch, burl, log. At first the furniture was temporary, crude and used out of doors. After about 1880, it began to be built for interior use, often copying the styles of sophisticated urban furniture designs. The essence of Adirondack rustic is its creativity, diversity, and quality. Structural parts of rustic furniture were usually unpeeled cedar or yellow birch poles along with slab pine, sometimes salvaged from packing crates. Bark and split twigs, from a variety of trees and shrubs, were applied to each piece in striking patterns and colors. Unpeeled wood was collected in fall and winter and bark was stripped in early spring while the sap was running. Woodcraft skills are essential to survival in the wilderness. Rustic makers employed them and a host of other skills to make their living as jacks-of-all-trades. Furniture-making and boatbuilding often occupied their winter months. In celebration of the history and the craft The Adirondack Museum will host it’s 23rd Annual Rustic Furniture Fair on September 11th & 12th, 2010. You’ll will be able to watch demonstrations of furniture making, wood carving and painting. The Adirondack Museum’s Rustic Furniture Fair is recognized as the premier “rustic” show in the country. This showcase of talented artisans includes both traditional and contemporary styles of furniture design. You will not see mass produced pieces. Rustic makers show and sell their work at the Rustic Furniture Fair by invitation only. A committee composed of museum staff follows established criteria when selecting invitation recipients. Invitations are sent in December preceding the Rustic Furniture Fair. All museum exhibits will be open on September 5 & 6, 2009 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. *A Preview Benefit will be held on September 10, 2010 Please call 518-352-7311 ext. 119 for more information. AdironackMuseum.org Adirondack Rustic Rusticity is an American expression, inspired by romantic notions of wilderness as untamed nature. This concept of wilderness was really an imaginative creation since by the mid-19th century most “wild” land was tamed and lived in. Nevertheless the idea spawned an e xtraordinary output of furniture, architecture, and art. Rusticity was, to a large degree, defined and refined in the Adirondacks. Ingenuity and imagination, novelty and fantasy are hallmarks of Adirondack rustic creations.
