Fridays: Stagecoach, Speakeasy & Old World Foods!
We’ve unfurled our entire 25 acres, 136 years of history, and all of the Lodge in one night!
Yes, Cathy Fisher-Otis Hohmeyer, whose family built the Lodge in 1886 as a Stagecoach Inn, post office, and general store, has provided us a legacy, and 136 years later, we are honoring this with an authentic 1800s Stagecoach Ride through the woods to the beach at sunset! We’ve teamed up with Lucky Clover Farms, who provide the lantern-lit sleigh rides in winter, and their Percheron draft horses, Fly and Jasper, will guide you into the sunset.
Hang on, “partner,” this is only the beginning.
Did you hide your belongings? This is the 1800s– you may be robbed on that Stagecoach!
Before that, start in our 1920s Speakeasy– I mean Adirondack “library.” Do you know where the hidden door is? A fun world awaits from exploring our Hidden Beer & Wine Cellar with the Adirondack's largest selection of beers ‘round-the-world’ to Prohibition “spirits,” Then, meander to our Lakeview Great Camp, take in an incredible mountain lake sunset and savor an authentic Old World culinary delight.
Saturdays: History of Adirondack Food Tasting
What a great way, in one night, to immerse yourself in learning about the history of the Adirondacks as you taste your way through the five culinary eras which defined it. From the Native American period and then the pioneer days to the era of the Cure Cottages and Great Camps, savor, explore and sense live Adirondack history. Interactive trivia, stories, cooking demos, and interpretive signs make the evening fun and interpretive. The story of the history of Adirondack food has primarily been an untold one, and collaborating with a host of organizations, including the Akwesasne Cultural Center, Adirondack Experience Museum, Adirondack Harvest, and a host of historical organizations, a savory initiative was born! Savor these different eras as you meander from the 1920s Speakeasy to the 1886 Stagecoach Dining Room.
