Camp Pine Knot, Historic Great Camp in Raquette Lake, US
The camp features multiple wooden buildings connected by covered walkways, constructed using native materials like logs, stones, and decorative branches from the Adirondacks.
William West Durant initiated the construction of Camp Pine Knot in 1877, establishing a new architectural style that influenced later developments in the Adirondack region.
The establishment of Camp Pine Knot marked the beginning of summer retreats for wealthy New York residents seeking refuge from urban heat during the 1800s.
The property, now known as Huntington Memorial Camp, operates as an outdoor education center managed by SUNY Cortland with limited public access.
The camp buildings remain nearly unchanged since their construction, preserving original features such as local woodwork, birch bark details, and natural stone elements.
