Great Camp Sagamore

Great Camp Sagamore, located on the shores of Raquette Lake in New York’s Adirondack Mountains, is a historic and beautifully preserved example of the grand “Great Camps” built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally constructed as a rustic yet luxurious retreat for wealthy industrialist William West Durant, the camp features a collection of log and stone buildings designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Today, Great Camp Sagamore serves as an educational center and museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the Gilded Age lifestyle and the Adirondack wilderness experience through guided tours, workshops, and special events. Its stunning architecture and scenic location make it a cherished landmark in the region.
