Scaroon Manor's Amphitheater’s Second Chance

The performances by Schroon’s ADK Shakes company at Scaroon Manor will hopefully be going a lot smoother  -- literally -- since the repaving of the resort’s once magnificent amphitheater.

These photos – from ADK Shakes – show the work going on in the state park in Warren County. We have reported extensively on the efforts of ADK Shakes co-founders Patrick Siler and Tara Bradway and their efforts to revive and save this part of Up State New York’s artistic history.

This summer the company worked with interlocking foam panels on the rough surface. Congrats to Patrick and supporters for their dedication in this effort.

The Ghost Town in Our Own Backyard

Forget all of those scary houses that charge admission  -- the Adirondack’s boasts its own real life ghost town in Tahawus. Please note: we are not endorsing visiting this old mining town at night-time – but if you are into history and exploring IN DAYLIGHT, then this may be for you.

Tahawus was the site of major mining and iron smelting operations in the 19th century. In this spot many of mining facilities have been demolished and removed with the exception of some minor garages, blast furnaces and outbuildings, which Mother Nature has not been kind to. For Presidential history buffs it was in Tahawus in 1901 that Vice President Theodore Roosevelt learned President William McKinley was dying and rode via horse back to North Creek.

Directions: From the Northway take exit 29, go west on Blue Ridge Rd for 18 miles, then turn right (north) onto Tahawus Rd (City Hwy 28) and continue until it ends at the ghost town.
