George Davis Postcard Collection UC0020 1 of 1 George Davis Postcard Collection 1905-1940 UC0020 QUANTITY: 3 boxes ACCESS: Open to research ACQUISITION: Donation of Judge George Davis (see note) PROCESSED BY: Margie Amodeo Biographical Note: Judge Davis was a highly respected judge in northwestern New York. He combined his appreciation of the Adirondack Mountains with an interest in history, and his collections reflect this. His home was in Lowville and he had a seasonal camp near Beaver Lake. Judge Davis passed away in 2010 at the age of 91. Scope and Content Note: The initial gift of a collection of over 200 postcards was received in 2005. The collection was later added to by the Adirondack Research Center. The current collection consists of over 1400 postcards. They date primarily from 1915 to 1940. They include images of sanitaria, cars, inns, cottages, clubs, boats, wildlife, and scenery from Lake Placid, Upper and Lower Saranac Lakes, Lake George, St. Regis Lake, Sacandaga Lake, the Saranac and Oswegatchie Rivers, Mount Marcy, Whiteface and the other High Peaks. In the interest of keeping the collection together, it also contains postcards from Utica, the Mohawk Valley, New York City and Washington D.C. and surrounding areas. The spelling and punctuation is an accurate representation of postcard captions. Anything in parenthesis has been added to make the finding aid a more useful tool for researchers. Note: Although this collection is labeled with George Davis’ name, there is a letter in the boxes from Arthur Newkirk donating postcards belonging to Trudy Porter, a relative of Eliot Porter. This discrepancy may need to be addressed at some point but it is unclear, at present, which postcards were donated by whom. Other notes and inconsistent dates state and suggest that many of the postcards were gifts of other donors.

    The Painted Village DRI

    Village of Tannersville Downtown Revitalization Initiative The Painted Village DRI 2 n ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Village of Tannersville earned the unique brand of “The Painted Village in the Sky.” The Village of Tannersville thanks our extraordinary community - residents, business owners, nonprofit leaders and their many employees for creating a buzz and driving this application. To say their engagement is extraordinary is an understatement. They inspire us. Our special thanks to our project sponsors for their ongoing investment in our Painted Village, and to those who donated space for meetings, time for outreach and consulting, leadership through the Village Board and other groups. They had conversation after conversation with residents (at the Post Office, the grocery store, over lunch and just walking on Main Street). We appreciate the commitments made by the Town of Hunter, the Greene County Legislature, and Greene County Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Planning who stand ready to strengthen our capacity further and enable us to drive the $64.5M of leveraged projects through implementation. Finally, we would like to thank our long-time ally, the Hunter Foundation, for their unwavering leadership and partnership every day. Together we are an unbeatable team. Being designated to participate in the DRI process will transform the future for hundreds of people and dozens of organizations who serve thousands of New Yorkers every year.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition, for landscapes that are not currently listed on the National Register and/or do not have adequate documentation, concurrence is required from the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Keeper of the National Register.
  • R Canister Before

    R Canister Before

    r canister Vol. XXIV, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 9 1 SOUTHWEST HUNTER, WHERE ARE YOU? We know you're there because we've both been to your canister before. Rich helped put it up over two years ago, and I've been there and signed in twice. But when we try together to find your canister . Our first attempt was last spring. I promised to get Rich to the old logging railroad bed, and he promised to get me to the peak. It seemed fair enough. We hiked up the Spruceton Trail to Hunter. As we climbed, we encountered some snow, but it wasn't tough going. In fact, with the bright sun shining on the snow and the ice on the trees, it was still a winter wonderland. We stopped at Hunter for a quick lunch, then took the Hunter Mountain Trail to the Devil's Path and the rail bed. Dawn the bed we hiked until Rich indicated it was time to turn uphill. A piece of cake, we thought. On our climb, we found same footprints in the snow; someone else had reached the canister this way. But we knew better than to follow tracks. There was always the chance their owner was wrong. Well, to make a long story short, we floundered: through balsam, snow, back and forth, around. And no, we didn't find the canister. Not long after that attempt, there was a group hike to Southwest Hunter, and I went along. I carefully timed our trip down the railroad bed. I locked landmarks in my mind's eye as we turned and headed uphill.

    Next Generation Council Adeline Clayton, Lake Placid, NY Tahawus Trails LLC Addy first moved to the Adirondacks for a summer internship with the Adirondack Mountain Club in 2015. You could say it was love at first sight because she’s been here since. Working for the ADK for the following 4 summers, Addy made the area her year-round home in 2018. She now works for Tahawus Trails LLC, a small private trail contracting company working on hiking and biking trails across New York state. When not working to improve the trails, she enjoys biking, baking, and working in her garden. She currently is the coordinator for the Lake Placid Community Garden and is on the ADK’s trails committee board as well as a founding member for the mountain club’s trail crew alumni association. Protecting the Adirondacks has become more than just a job for her, it’s something that she feels deeply connected to and has found a great deal of solace and healing among the mountains and wild waters of the park. She hopes to connect others to the place as sustainably as possible. Janelle Hoh, Saranac Lake, NY Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism Although not a native-born Adirondacker, Janelle has been actively involved and working here for over a decade. Nature and topics related to the environment have always been her passion, which led her to pursue those topics in academia. Janelle holds a BA in environmental studies and a MS in conservation biology. Most of the work Janelle has done academically and professionally has centered around how people relate and interact with their surroundings, specifically the natural world.
