A Message from Executive Director Vonda Givens:
Membership Manager Parker Sanchez and I are delighted to share the 2025 Farms Afield schedule, anchored this summer by a “luxury escape” to The Sagamore Resort (as enticingly described on their website!) on Lake George’s Green Island in the Adirondacks. Over ten years ago, one of the first multi-day trips I planned for the museum was to the Adirondacks. 2025 seemed like a perfect time to return...
Read on below for full information on Farms Afield: Lake George Retreat and to reserve your spot.
Meet us for a summer retreat on beautiful Lake George in the Adirondack Park, a National Historic Landmark and the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States. Known as the “Queen of American Lakes,” the 32-mile-long Lake George has 200 islands, including Green Island, the home of one of the region’s historic grand hotels, The Sagamore. Located in Bolton Landing, NY, at the southeast base of the Adirondack Mountains, The Sagamore (now known as The Sagamore Resort) has been welcoming guests since 1883 and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
We’ll meet up at The Sagamore Resort for a luxury escape: two days and three nights of relaxing lake life among friends, old and new. Planned especially for museum members, we invite you to enjoy the storied beauty of an Adirondack summer on Lake George at the landmark, 4-star Sagamore Resort.
Our visit will begin with a welcome breakfast and lectures from Jonathan Clancy, on the Adirondacks and Arts and Crafts, and special guest Erin Tobin of Adirondack Architectural Heritage, on The Great Camps and Adirondack rustic style. We’ll enjoy a cruise on Lake George aboard The Morgan (pictured at left).
Our trip will offer plenty of time for relaxing lake or poolside, walking into nearby Bolton Landing, exploring the hotel rec center’s activities from mini-golf to pickleball (and much more), or renting a canoe, booking a spa appointment, or scheduling a tee time on The Sagamore’s Donald Ross-designed course (spa, golf, and rental fees are not included). And then we’ll bring our retreat to a close with a celebratory outdoor dinner overlooking Lake George.
