On 7/17/26-7/19/26 please join the Hudson Mohawk Club and the Northeast Mountaineers for a joint rally at the historic Scaroon Manor campground on Schroon Lake, NY (they are spelled differently). The state campground is rich in history dating back to the revolutionary war. More recently it was a resort for the rich and famous from New York City with its heyday in the 1930-1940’s. The movie titled Marjorie Morningstar was filmed there in 1957 starring Gene Kelly and Natalie Wood. Sadly, a few remnants and an abandoned amphitheater are all that remain but if you listen closely, you can still hear the music.
