Historic New York

This is the way North

Since pre-historic times, this route has served Indian hunting
and war parties as they traveled between the north country and the
southern region of New York State. This area was once considered
the key to domination of colonial North America. French, English, and
American armies often engaged one another in a deadly struggle for
the control of this State.

Once isolated and considered desolate, the northern reaches
of the State were inhabited by trappers, lumbermen and miners. The
Adirondack Mountains served as America's earliest source of raw materials
for our infant industry.

Recent times have seen wealthy magnates using these mountains
and lakes as a millionaire's resort paradise. Travel, tourism and commerce
have increased the steady flow of humanity moving over this important
"way North."
