AREA GEARING UP FOR SEASON’S
By GREG HITCHCOCK For The Leader-Herald
F
The Leader-Herald/Bill Trojan
People gather to view the official ribbon-cutting under the new trailhead archway for the Northville-Lake Placid Trail at the Waterfront Park in Northville on June 7, 2014.
estivals celebrating arts, history and the
outdoors are coming to Fulton and Montgomery
counties in June and July.
The Buck Moon Arts Festival, the Woodworking and
Fine Arts Weekend, the Market Fair, and the National
Trail Day Festival are among the events.
Northville's second annual National Trail Day Festival
on June 6 celebrates the beauty of the Adirondacks as
the community honors the 91st anniversary of the 133mile Northville/Placid Trail.
"Last year, our festival was the largest celebration
Northville had ever seen. It was a commemorative event
with an arch unveiled at the trailhead," festival committee
chairwoman Maria Spaeth said.
"Going forward, the event will celebrate nature, the
community, and the trail with less emphasis of a carnivaltype atmosphere," Spaeth said.
The event will be located at Northville's Waterfront
Park and will feature live animals native to the
Adirondacks, including owls and a wolf. The event is
sponsored by CMK Real Estate and Associates.
The Adirondack Mountain Club will feature speakers
such as Marty Podskoch, author of the book "The
Adirondack 102 Club," and local author and historian
Gail Cramer, who will debut a self-guided walking tour
of the village's houses and businesses.

The Northville Rotary Club will sponsor an art show
from local elementary and senior high school students
with nature themes.
Artist Mary Beth Vought of Central Bridge paints during the Buck
Moon event at FMCC on July 12, 2014.
Horse and wagon rides will round out the day.
Later that summer, Northville will be the scene for
another weekend-long summer event, the seventh annual
Northville Rotary Woodworking and Fine Arts Weekend
from July 17-19.
The event will feature 60 artists, some woodcarvers,
others painters, potters and photographers.
"We have thousands of people coming in to the village
(that weekend)," Rotarian Janet Meuwissen said. "SVAN
(Sacandaga Valley Arts Network) is having a concert in
the park and the senior task force is sponsoring a chicken
barbecue, with the Adirondack store having a woodcarving event."
Meuwissen said the first summer weekend
woodworking festival was literally a washout.
"We started small with only 11 artists and it rained that
weekend. But that did not daunt us. We wanted to
continue it," she said.
This year, the event has grown to 60 artists. The festival
raises an estimated $10,000 for the Rotary Foundation,
according to Meuwissen.
"It is great to see the whole community come out and
the artists always say it is nice to be there that weekend,"
she said.
On July 11 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., FultonMontgomery Community College will host the second
annual Buck Moon Arts Festival with public art projects

Buck Moon Arts Festival coordinator Shirl Doherty said
an art show featuring art by FMCC graduates the night
before will kick off the weekend.
"Last year, there were large performance bands, but
this year we scaled it back to create a more laid-back
atmosphere," Doherty said.
According to Doherty, there will be plenty of art
projects the public can participate in, including weaving
and painting.
"A mobile mural will be positioned along the campus
for people to paint on as well as small art projects that
people can take away," she said.
The festival, funded through a New York State Council
on the Arts grant, Montgomery County and the Fulton
Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce, will have
three strolling musicians performing on guitars and a
Nyckelharpa, a Swedish keyed fiddle, when the bands
on stage take breaks.
Chamber Tourism Director Gina DaBiere-Gibbs said
local festivals such as Buck Moon and the Woodworking
festival bring in vendors and customers.
"There is also potential for overnight stays, eating
dinner at our local restaurants during these weekendlong events," DaBiere-Gibbs said.
Buck Moon is the same weekend as Johnson Hall's
Jerry Wildermuth, left, of Northville, at a table representing the
Northville churches, makes a bird house as children look on
during the Trail Day Festival at the Waterfront Park in Northville
on June 7, 2014.
Market Fair, July 11-12. According to DaBiere-Gibbs,
this lends itself to patronage at local establishments all
weekend long.
The Market Fair at the state historic site is a re-creation
of an event first hosted by Sir William Johnson in 1772.
The event will include performances, vendors, colonialperiod demonstrations and tours of the historic site.

Fort Klock is a little-altered architectural example of a mid-18th
century fur-trading post and fortified stone house structure that was
widely used in the Mohawk Valley by settlers as a place of refuge
during the French and Indian War and, later, the American Revolution.
“It is obvious the site was well chosen by Johannes — both for
its advantages of trading and for defense,” the website says. “The
sheltered cove along the riverbank directly below the fort provided
safe anchorage for trading batteaux that plied the river.
“The massive stone walls, nearly 2 feet thick, rest on a
foundation of solid rock. From the stone floor in the cellar still
bubbles a spring which provided a constant supply of fresh water
to the occupants without exposing them to outside danger.”
The walls are heavily loopholed on every side of the house so
that muskets could be fired from the inside.
“The purpose of these fortified private houses was to provide
places of safety where neighboring settlers could seek refuge when
bands of raiding Indians and Tories swept through the valley.”
The site is open from Memorial Day to Columbus Day each year,
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. A fee is charged.
Groups wanting to use the picnic grounds and/or arrange large
group tours are asked to schedule their use ahead of time.
The biggest event at the site each year is the annual Fort Klock
Craft Fair, scheduled for the second weekend of September.
For more information, call Fort Klock Historic Restoration at
568-7779 or visit the website www.fortklockrestoration.org.

Animal home
Land,
to hundreds of animals
VAIL MILLS — Adirondack Animal Land is a family-owned and
family-operated wildlife park designed to provide a home in
all-natural settings for more than 500 animals. It is located on
80 acres of farmland nestled in the foothills of the
Adirondacks.
According to its website, Adirondack Animal Land is a
wildlife propagation facility. Visitors will see bottle-raised bear
cubs and wooly baby llamas as well as dozens of kangaroos,
camels and zebras.
Animal Land is dedicated to educating visitors as well as
providing an exciting day.
While TV programs are educational, there is nothing quite
like standing next to a giraffe, getting nuzzled by a baby
llama, hugging a baby miniature donkey or gazing into the
eyes of a newborn fawn to make one appreciate our wonderful
world of animals, Animal Land says on its website.
There are many paved pathways throughout the facility, but
not all areas of the zoo are handicapped-accessible.
The facility includes:
• A collection of birds and animals.
• A petting area.
• A breeding center for rare and endangered species.
• A souvenir shop.
• Free picnic grounds.
• A country kitchen.
• An 1800s Western-style town.
• Chances to hand-feed baby animals.

The municipality of the Town of Lake Pleasant (formerly Sageville) was officially
formed until 1812, the same year the fledgling United States of America was waging
its second war with England. Today, two-hundred years later, the Town of Lake
Pleasant (pop. 876) is the County Seat of Hamilton County and a very active tourism
destination. Visit www.speculatorchamber.com

UNITED WAY NIGHT AT COLONIAL LITTLE THEATRE
The United Way of Fulton County will be creating a fundraising event which features a dramatic presentation
of Moonlight & Magnolias by Ron Hutchinson, at Colonial Little Theatre in Johnstown, to benefit the United
Way’s 2015 Community Campaign.
Moonlight & Magnolias takes a fun, farcical look at the behind-the-scene birthof one of the most beloved films of all time.
The year is 1939 and David O. Selznick is making the mother of all movies, Gone with the Wind. The cast is in place and
cameras are rolling. There’s just one problem—Selznick doesn’t have a script yet. So he locks himself, director Victor
Fleming and script doctor Ben Hecht in a room with little more than peanuts, bananas and a typewriter, and they proceed
to reenact the saga of Scarlett and Rhett. Only this is Scarlett and Rhett like you’ve never seen before! This world-premiere
comedy is a hilarious homage to the men behind an American movie classic.
Cost: $12.00. For more information please contact Lisa Pfeiffer at 518-725-9817 or [email protected]

Old Fort
Johnson,
looking into the early days
Fort Johnson is shown.
FORT JOHNSON — Before Sir William
Johnson founded Johnstown and built
Johnson Hall, he built and lived in a field
stone house he named Fort Johnson.
He had come to the Mohawk Valley as a
youth to help his uncle with an estate here,
but he soon purchased his own land.
According to a news release, Old Fort
Johnson was built in 1749 and served as
Johnson’s residence for 14 years.
While here, Johnson carried out many
meetings with local Native American
Indians, as Johnson had been enlisted to
garner the support of the Iroquois nations
HART’S
to help the British against French forces in
the French and Indian War and, later, the
Revolutionary War.
Located at the corner of Routes 5 and 67
one mile west of Amsterdam, Old Fort
Johnson is open for tours Wednesday
through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and
Sunday 1 to 5 p.m.
Admission is $2 for adults, with free
admission for children age 12 or younger.
More information on the site is available
online at www.oldfortjohnson.org, or by
calling 843-0300. Tour groups are
welcome, but should call for reservations.
History of the fort
According to the fort’s website, “the history
of Fort Johnson and its builder, William
Johnson, began with his arrival in America
from Ireland in 1738; when he was 23 years
old and was to oversee his Uncle Peter Warren’s
land holdings south of the present day city of
Amsterdam, in the colony of New York.
“Despite his promise to his uncle not to
start a settlement of his own, Johnson
purchased a tract of land north of the
Mohawk River in 1739.

Fort Johnson
continued from page 32
“He moved there, building a house in 1743 called Mount Johnson.
Here he developed a fur trade that became the basis of his fortune.
“Johnson soon became involved in Colonial politics. He
provisioned British military posts, kept the Native Americans
friendly to the British, served in the New York Colonial Legislature,
and in 1756 was commissioned ‘superintendent of all the affairs
of the Six Nations and other Northern Indians.’
“Johnson constructed a larger house for himself and his family.
Acting as his own architect, Johnson built a large three-story stone
house about a mile west of his first home.
“Following the Georgian style of architecture, it was finished in
1749 and was to be called Fort Johnson. Along with the house,
grist mill and outbuildings that were on the property, structures
flanked the house on the front and were fortified as a means of
defense from attack by the French.
“With Sir William’s removal to Johnson Hall in 1763, Fort
Johnson was given to his son John, who married Mary Watts, a
member of a prominent New York family.”
John occupied the fort until 1774, when upon Sir William’s
death, John inherited the baronetcy and moved to Johnson Hall.
“The outbreak of the American Revolution [led to] Sir John
Johnson’s decision to remain loyal to the British Crown. [He] was
attainted a traitor and he and his family fled to Canada.
“All Johnson property was confiscated, with Fort Johnson seized
by the Tryon County Committee of Sequestration in 1777. Fort
Johnson and all the furnishings were sold at auction.
“Throughout the 19th century, the house passed through many
hands; in 1905, the fort was again for sale. It was purchased by
UNION HALL
Inn
RESTAURANT & CATERING
Brigadier General John Watts DePeyster, a great-nephew of Lady
Mary Watts, and given to the Montgomery County Historical Society.”
The Montgomery County Historical Society was incorporated
May 10, 1904. It met in the Amsterdam Free Library.
Its purpose was: to promote and encourage original historical
research; to disseminate a greater knowledge of the early history of that
portion of New Yorkstate known as Tryon County by means of literature
and the publication and distribution of literature on historical subjects; to
gather books, manuscripts, papers and relics relating to the early history
of Montgomery County and the Mohawk Valley; to suitably mark places
of historical interest; and to acquire by purchase, gift, or otherwise, the
title to or custody and control of historical spots and places.
On Oct. 17, 1904, the Hon. Stephen Sanford purchased the
A.G. Richmond collection of aboriginal artifacts in Canajoharie
and donated it to the Historical Society and a major exhibition
was placed in the Amsterdam Public Library.
On Oct. 30, 1905, at a special meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Montgomery County Historical Society, it was reported by W.
Max Reid that after meeting with General J. Watts DePeyster of
Tivoli, Dutchess County, that the General had agreed to buy the Fort
Johnson property and deed it to the Montgomery County Historical
Society; it was to be owned by them as long as it was used for
historical purposes; thus, began a custodianship which has lasted
nearly 99 years. The trustees of the Historical Society resolved on
Nov. 15,1905; “That it is the sense of this society, that the act of
Major General John Watts DePeyster in voluntarily preserving for the
generations to come one of the most important relics of our colonial
history, is an evidence of the lofty patriotism which has been
characteristic of him and of his family and ancestors.
