Adirondack History Museum presents: Logging The High Peaks

Logging The High Peaks

Lumbering the highest mountains in New York State was a dangerous and precarious job, where everything had to be worked by brute manpower and horses. Deep snows and frigid winter temperatures, mountains over 4000 feet with 45-degree slopes, logging camps high in the mountains dozens of miles away from civilization, and swollen rivers filled with log jams, all made being a lumberjack a tough occupation. Presentation by Sharp Swan, who will share the story of the people who worked the Adirondack High Peaks bringing timber off the slopes to market. ​

 

Admission: $8/Free for Members. Doors open at 6:30
